Copy Shape Mask to multiple clips

I want to use the Color/Shape Mask to create a vignette on multiple clips, but I can not find a way to copy its settings from one to the other. Anyone know how?

Thanks! I kept trying to right click, drag and other ways from the Effects window when it was "hiding" in the Edit menu all along.
I sure miss the dialogue from FCP that would allow you to check off the particulars of the paste. Hope to see it in an update soon.

I can not copy a transition between multiple clips in premiere 12

Following the procedure described in the manual, I can not copy a transition between multiple clips in Premiere 12.
Premiere copy a single transition in the clip closer to the time bar.
I had tried in various ways but to no avail. The problem can be solved?
Thanks for the help.

I finally figured out that you can not copy a transition between multiple clips at the same time and it will copy one at a time.
What seems strange, however, because in Pinnacle, which I used until recently, this could be done, and Adobe is not less than Pinnacle.
Maybe Adobe does not consider interesting this thing, or maybe it is inserted in Premiere Pro. How, for example, in the titles, the ability to animate multiple lines. In Premiere Elements missing but I knew that in the Pro's.
I thank you anyway for your helpful answers.

Copy/paste Attributes to multiple clips supported in CS3?

Adobe premiere pro 2 doesn't support this function. Is not possible to paste attributes (including frame Hold settings) onto multiple (highlighted) clips, the option becomes shaded if you try. It was supported in 5.0 and 6.0 but was dropped in recent versions. Anyone try it?

Copy Video filter to multiple clips

How can I copy the color correction filter all the clips?
I can add the filter to all the clips by selecting them and going to Effects>Video Filter> Color>color correction and the filter show up in every clip. But when I adjust the white using the dropper it apply it only to the clip I have selected or have double clicked if all are selected.
I can Modify>copy filter> 2 ahead, but how do I apply that color correction to all the clips?
Thanks

FCP Forum probably better spot for this one.
Anyways it should work across the board, that said, however, unless the clips are all pretty much matched well, color correction settings for one clip will not be the same as other clip, what I usually do is save the general settings as favorites, drop them on a clip then check each clip for any further tweaks

Multiple Masks on same clip

I have a clip with several primary and secondary corrections on it and want to apply a mask to a primary correction.
So far so good, but how do I apply a different mask to the same clip but to a different primary or secondary correction layer?
SG allows me to use only ONE mask for the whole clip? Even with multiple primary and secondary corrections?
The problem is as soon as I apply a second mask to a different effect on the same clip, the mask already there is replaced by the now on I just created and the other mask ist lost.
Is this a lacking feature or is it something I do wrong?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks,
Patrick.

Hi Patrick,
You didn't do anything wrong! But there is a way to add multiple masks to the same clip: Create a new grading track and add a new grading clip to the track (here is a link to an article showing you how to add new grading tracks: http://adobe.ly/PGrPvl)
You can add one mask per grading clip. If you just want one mask, add it to the original clip. To add a second mask, add a new grading track as described above. To add a third mask, add another grading track above the first one, and so on.
Let us know if this works for you!

Copy edits to multiple clips malfunction?

When I "copy edits" to multiple clips weird things happen. If the clip has been cropped or transformed the frame is restricted. Not sure if I can explain this well but here goes.
I have transformed a clip and cropped the edges
I command-option-c to copy the edits
I command-option-v to paste to 3 other clips that are a similar setting to save time
I go to the next clip to add a couple other edits or backgrounds and move the clip in the view but now the crop boundries are all screwed up and the area that I previous cropped is visable but the "crop-lines" are where I set them. If I move the clip in the viewer, left or right or up or down, it moves within a stagnant cropped field. If I drag the "crop-line" its way off the edge of the clip.
Hope that makes sense. This is something I did many times before the update with not issues. It saved a lot of time but now I have to do these edits to each clip. What happened?

Are you using FCPX? Forget the Command-Option-C for copy the "effects". You want to copy attributes. Just use Command-C, the normal copy command. To Paste Attributes, use Shift-Command-V. You'll have more control over things.
And make sure the clips you're pasting attributes to have NO effects or tranformations done to them before hand.

How to change Opacity Blending on multiple clips...??

First the problem:
Whenever I open a Premiere v6.5 project, CS4 does a "conversion."
Maddeningly, during this process, it changes the Opacity\Blending Mode of every single clip in the project to "Color" instead of leaving it at "Normal."
Since I am working with Stereo (3D) footage with a different camera on V2 & V1, I always have at least two, and often many more, video tracks (for titles, etc).
This means I have to go through every single clip on every single video track and reset it to Normal before I can proceed with the project! This can be upwards of 500 clips.
PITA!!
1) Does anyone have any idea why this is happening & how to prevent it?
or,
2) Is there a way to change this setting in all the clips at the same time?
Whenever I select multiple clips, no Effect Settings (or whatever Shift 5 is called) appear. Only there for single clips.
TIA,:-)

Do one clip, copy (rightclick) the clip, select all the others and paste attributes.

How do I automate global vector shape, mask & path transfers to Illustrator?

Using: WIN7, Adobe CS5, PS, AI (but others may appreciate answers for CS6, etc.)
When I need to move a project from Photoshop to Illustrator, I need an automated way to prep shape and vector mask items for export--preferably preserving the structure and layout that already exists as layer names and order, character and paragraph settings, and of course global registration. My scripting is limited to recording actions, so I need to find an existing script or get coached on this. Any recommendations?
I have googled and waded through numerous forum posts trying to research this on my own, so I know about the ability to export my path collection, but that's usually inapplicable in reality. It only deals with vectors from the Paths pallette. In Photoshop, I use the Paths pallet to store master and WIP paths, but all the working paths are either shapes or vector masks--or active type layers. Often enough that it's become an issue, I'll need to move the whole project to Illustrator. Obviously, the process has issues; I'm not expecting the rastor layers or Photoshop styles to carry over, but I see no reason why I can't capture text, shape and vector mask elements.
They all have a vector component, but simply opening a PSD in Illustrator flattens (badly) the layers. I select the "Convert Layers as Objects" but have yet to see it extract editable text. I'm not sure if it even attempts to do anything with vector shapes or masks. I've got a process for moving a project one element at a time, using registration marks--but this requires turning text into shapes most of the time, especially if I am trying to preserve kerning and leading crucial to the layout. Maybe I just have not found the right info, and there is a way to transfer editable text without losing character and paragraph settings. I'd love to hear about it.
For now, I'd be happy to stop wasting time doing a ton of conversions and renaming by hand, just so I can preserve the work I've already invested.
One suggestion, posted under a multiple path export question, was to use scripting... but no one explored or explained how to go about it. I'm not asking for the impossible, however. I simply need help working out my own solution: if there is no application method for transferring the elements, try to script a method to prep those elements for export. Before I even attempt to reinvent someone's wheel, I am putting the question out there:
Does anyone know of a solution that already exists?
I appreciate hearing your advice and thank you for giving this some attention!
edit: I kept at it and managed to open my current project PSD in AI with text and shape/mask vectors successfully--not as cleanly as I'd hoped but the relative positioning of things was acceptable. I am still interested in hearing people's suggestions on better ways to transfer work from one tool to the other, though. I know this is going to come up for me again and again...
Thanks!

Hi,
It sounds like you have gotten this working for your project, but you might look at this thread for a few different solutions. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1045757

Selecting and Dragging multiple clips - CS6 Sniper mode

With the introduction of ability to select Edit Points, now it's inconvenient to drag multiple selected clips or add clips to selection because in some cases - depending on timeline zoom state and/or clip duration. The edit points are altered instead of the clips, that behaviour drives me nuts. It leads to a necessity to do one of the following actions before selecting and/or dragging multiple clips with comfort:
sniper mode - put the cursor over a place in the selection where the cursor will not indicate Edit Point trimming mode.
to avoid loosing selection when using sniper mode - Group the clips after adding every clip to selection and/or after a dragging operation
dynamically change zoom state so that you will not have to use sniper mode
use copy/cut/paste - may involve a necessity to do additional pre-pasting steps
IMHO, this behaviour should be rethinked.
How fast it was in CS5.5 and older versions:
Please, Premiere Pro Programming Team, especially Tim Gogolin, Steve Hoeg, Peter Lee, Gerry Miller, James Mork, Vivek Neelamegam, Axel Schildan, Jerry Scoggins, Sven Skwirblies, Tod Snook, Jesse Zibble, rethink the behaviour of selecting and dragging clips. Start giving links to beta-versions to other editors too, not only to editors like Philip Bloom.
Selecting edit points is sometimes helpful and sometimes distracting.
To get the best of two worlds (CS6 edit points vs. CS5.5 and older) - a switch could be added to Keyboard Shortcuts list, like the "hidden" Add Clip Marker shortcut.
Let's name it "Application > Sequence > Select Edit Points".
When Shift- or Shift+Alt- key is pressed and some Clip is selected, clicking on an edit point of another clip should add a clip to selection in the same way as previous versions of Premiere Pro did:
To drag clips in legacy sniper-free mode only a switch can help. Let's name it "Application > Sequence > Select Edit Points when Multiple Clips are Selected".
To add comfort to the editing process - selecting/dragging multiple clips - additional switches cannot be avoided. Additionally you may add an option to the Preferences > Trim:
Allow Selection tool to choose Roll and Ripple trims without modifier key
Allow Selection tool to select Edit Points while multiple Clips are selected

With all due respect Kevin, nobody at Adobe has the right to change a program SO drastically. I am also a mouse person, and am MUCH faster using the mouse, vs the keyboard.
When people have invested YEARS into a program like Adobe, they get used to things, how things work, the feel of a program. I really don't see how you all can just change it on a whim. IF you are going to do this, BOTH methods should still work. You cannot just stop the way people are used to editing. You can't just decide to change a program so drastically, that it doesn't feel like a program we have grown to love over many long years. If Adobe on a whole is changing things, just because a few people in your company voice opinions like I've quoted below, it's not the way to go. Adobe should be really putting feelers out there, and seeing how people are really using the program. Things should be getting easier, more powerful, sure that's natural, but you can't just decide to remove things that mouse users do every day. :-(
Upgrading a program, and changing it to this degree, are two different things in my book. I have not yet upgraded, but it is very scary - the things I'm seeing. For one, way way too many bugs. The amount of bugs on so many boards being reported are just beyond comprehension.
And a final note, I for one, am very glad Steven is posting these videos ( I'd like to hear him go through steps though - just watching the video with no audio of what he is doing is not so great, however after watching some of his posts, he's knows what he's doing, and has a good head to think with )
I mostly read posts, but I thought I would voice my opinion, if none of us speak up, nothing will get changed. I'm really hoping that Adobe implements some change in the next revision .5 or whatever it will be called. Reading posts like this one are really depressing. Did you watch Steven's video on a simple task as moving multiple clips around on a timeline ? Doing this with a mouse just isn't going to work for many, removing simple tasks by way of using a mouse would stop me from upgrading.
Please address this in upcoming updates.
Dave.

Can I set a default to effect settings? Or apply the same effect settings to multiple clips?

If I want to set multiple clips to have the same effect, can I do that without resetting the effects every time I add it?
Or can I set a default setting to an effect that is different from the default default?

How to apply Time Remap to multiple clips simultaneously

Quite often after trimming many different clips for a wedding video I will then want the majority of them slowed down to a 50% speed. I know how to apply the Time Remap Speed % change in the Motion Tab, but have yet to figure out how to make the change to multiple clips simultaneously.
Thanks for your help!

You can apply a speed change from one clip to multiple clips by copying the first one, then pasting attributes (option + V, then select speed from the list) onto as many clips as you have selected.
Just be aware that this will ripple your timeline by extending all of your clips. FCP keeps the original out point of the source clip, not the out point of each cut on the T/L.

How to apply basic motion to multiple clips

Hello!
How do I apply basic motion parameters to multiple clips? ie Scale, center and crop? Do I have to set the parameters for each specific clip or can I apply the parameters to multiple clips at once?
Thanks

I'm going to assume you want to assign the exact same motion tab setting to additional clips.
Set one of your clips as desired in the motion tab
highlight the modified clip in the timeline
type Cmnd-C to copy
highlight the clips you want to have the setting applied to
type Option-V to paste
in the pop-up window uncheck all boxes except Basic Motion
click the OK button

In imovie can you trim multiple clips at a time? Also, can you randomly sort the photos?

In imovie can you trim multiple clips at a time? Also, can you randomly sort the photos?

Can I do all at once or 1 at a time? It seems to only allow 1 at a time.
No. But you can do one, copy its settings, then seclect the rest and "Paste Audio Settings" to all of them all at once in a project.

Extening multiple clips at a time relatively?

Is it possible to extend multiple clips at a time relatively?

Not exactly sure what you mean here. You can change the duration of multiple clips by an absolute value, e.g., add 5 seconds to a bunch of selected clips, by typing Ctrl-D and then +5. or +500 followed by enter. This will trim the clips to an additional duration, if there is enough media (this is not changing the speed of the clips).
Do you mean changing the duration by a percentage?
Or maybe change the speed of several clips concurrently? If you want to retime several clips - for instance, have them all play slower, say at 50% speed - then I believe the easiest way is to apply the retiming to one of the clips, and then do Paste Attributes on the other clips.
Say you want clips A, B, C, D to all play at 50%. Do the retiming on clip A.Cmd-C to copy. Select B, C, and D, Cmd-Shift-V to Paste Attributes. Check the Retiming box and press enter.

Applying Effect to Multiple Clips?

Hi,
Is there a way within Final Cut Express to apply a single effect such as Chroma Keyer to multiple clips? I've seen this done with Final Cut Pro but can't seem to replicate it in FCE.
Thanks for your help.

You do it exactly the same way you could do it in FCP. Drag the filter onto multiple selected clips, or copy a clip with the filter and use the paste attributes function.
