Copying and pasting frames

Hello
I have found a nice online form in a tutorial.
Is it possible to simply copy and paste the frames into my
FLA file - will it copy the Action Script as well? I can import the
library items, but wondered if there were any drawbacks to doing it
this way. How do I know if what I paste in will not conflict with
what I already have?
Cheers
Steve

Select the needed frames, do a right click and select copy
frames
go back to your original fla select one frame do a rightclick
and select paste frames
you need to import the library objects manally.

Copying and Pasting Frames in Flash

I am having a problem which I I'm pretty sure (hope), there should be an easy answer to. I want to take frames out of a movie clip in a Flash file and paste them on the main timeline. The problem I am having is Flash is pasting them back on the stage in a different spot than where they were when I copied them. This is totally messing up my tweens! Is there a way I can get Flash to paste them in the exact position as they were in when copied? Thanks for any help.

the best you can do is use "edit multiple frames" once you have pasted.

Copy and Paste InDesigne gives inserted graphic, not object!? Bug or "feature"?

When I copy and paste any object in Indesign (Vectorgraphics, Rectangle, Textarea, everything) it isn't pasted as another object, it's paster as an inserted Graphic. I use Creative Cloud, updating automatically. Is this a new "feature" or a bug? Copying and pasting an Object -> i want an object again (editable and with the same color etc) and not an inserted graphic. Can I change any settings for that or something? never had this problem before!
I would really appreciate your help as it's really uncomfortable in the workflow even though i could understand it would increase performance and reduce data volume.

I have problem like this with indesign cs6 and windows 7, when i copy and paste frames it paste as there is graphic inside with a content grabner, my work around is from windows start>all program >go to indesign and run as administrator. Hope this may help.

Copy and paste without keeping variable names

Is it possible to copy and paste frames without keeping the
same variable names for pieces inside of those frames. something
like replication without duplication

isn't there a way to copy and paste text so that it takes the attributes of the recipient appThis is down to the "recipient app" to implement. For example, TextEdit has "Paste and Match Style" which does what you want. Microsoft Word has "Paste Special …" with various options. I don't know Filemaker, so don't know what is on the "Edit" menu.

I am having problems copying and pasting clips from one project timeline to another. When I do this they often alter in length. Sometimes by two frames. Other times they lose a chunk off the end of the last clip in the sequence. Has anyone else found

I am having problems copying and pasting clips from one project timeline to another. When I do this they often alter in length. Sometimes by two frames. Other times they lose a chunk off the end of the last clip in the sequence. Has anyone else found this?

You need to give a lot more information about the media specifications and the project properties you're using in the different projects.

Why does the frame color change to black when I copy and paste between documents?

Copying and pasting between documents in Indesign. The color of the text stays the same but the lines and frames change from a specified color to black. Also changes when I drag and drop can anyone tell me how to fix this?

You have not provided any exact information like what version of ID, system info, paragraph styles, color definitions and whatnot, so we can't know what is going on. either way, ask in the ID forum and provide all those important details.

Copy and past key frames?

I have 2 sequence that are the same.
Is it possible to copy and past the video filters from one clip in one sequence to same clip in the other sequence? And have the key frames in the correct place?
I’m trying to do this but its not staying in sync with the sequence what I mean is the key frames are in the wrong place. I’m opening the clip in one sequence going to the filter tab coping the filter with the key frames and then when I past in to the second sequence the key frames are in the wrong place.

For Kevan,
I only was getting confused by you saying:
...you click on clip/control-c/select 'paste attributes'....
- 'click on clip', I do understand
- 'Control-C' does nothing on my keyboard (standard layout).
So I supposed you meant 'Control-Click' which brings up a pop-up menu (or what's the good name for that) which gives me a variety of options ('open in viewer', 'item properties', 'send to...', etc) including 'paste attributes'. And because that's the next thing you advised:
- Select 'paste attribute'...
...I assumed you meant to say 'Control Click' (Or Right click on a 2- or 3-button mouse.)
edit: This pop-up, I think, is called 'contextual menu', not 'pop-up'
So If on your setup Control-C does the same as Control Click, then you've probably set up your keyboard for that. If this is the only 'problem' you have I wouldn't even consider trashing prefs...

Text and text box is altered after I copy and past a frame between InDesign CS2 Documents

I am using InDesign CS2 4.0.5 on a MAC G5 running 10.4.1
HELP! I am working on a text book that has text picked up from multiple documents. These text frames have inset text. When I copy and paste the text frames, some of the text frames (but not all) loose the inset boundaries. Also some of the text changes so it now wraps. I have checked and double checked; I am using the same object styles and the same paragraph styles, the same character styles. I have even used the book feature to synchronize the styles. But without luck. I read the adobe tech note 333340 about CS2 files moved from Windows to Mac. I don't think any of these files would have been created on the MAC, but I am even having this problem on documents that I know were both created on the MAC. Any suggestions?

This problem was fixed by reading the forum "InDesign CS2 kicking lines out of a text frame for no reason - Help?". Although my text wasn't moving to the next page, I tried changing all the documents to the same unit of measurement and the copy and past worked!!!

Copy and Pasted Items Open Original File

How can I stop items that were copy and pasted from one document to another to stop opening the original (copied from) file when selected in the new (pasted into) file?

InDesign works different than other programs you may be used to, which is causing your problem.
When you want to include a graphic, don't copy it and paste it into InDesign. In general, that will produce a low-resolution copy. Instead, choose File > Place, and navigate to the graphic you want to include on your hard drive, and place it. That creates a link to the external graphic. You'll be able to view the link in the Links panel (Window > Links).
It would also be better to create a new text frame with the Type tool, and paste content into it; or to choose File > Place to place an external file, like a Word document.

How do I copy and paste multiple keyframes?

I've used previous versions of Final Cut in the past, but primarily have done my editing with Adobe Premiere. One of the companies I am freelancing for only has Final Cut X on their machines. I'm a bit confused about keyframes. Keyframing in the inspector seems severely limited. I could use some help.
Basic example: Say I want to zoom and pan into an image... then have it sit there for 5 seconds... then zoom and pan back to its original location. I can't figure out how to do this at all with Final Cut X.
In Premiere I would accomplish this extremely easily.
#1 I'd set my playhead at the location I'd like START my zoom IN/pans and set all my necessary keyframes.
#2 Then i move my playhead to where I'd like to END my zoom IN/pans, change all my parameters and this sets my necessary keyframes.
#3 I move my playhead further to where I'd like to START my zoom OUT/pans to where it originally was... and set all my necessary keyframes
#4 I move my playhead to where I'd like END my zoom OUT/pans to where it originally was... and simply copy and paste my keyframes from step 1...
The reason why I copy and paste my keyframes from step 1 is because often my parameters are very specific. I'm not necessary zoomed in 100% at the beginning with my position set exactly where it needs to be. Say, for instance, I'm working with an image that is zoomed at 75% and perfectly positioned at some random position somewhere in my frame... without the ability to cut and paste keyframes, I'd have to go back to keyframe 1 and write down all the parameters... then go to keyframe 4 and re-enter them. Massive pain in the butt.
How is this properly accomplished in Final Cut X? I can't even see my keyframes on the timeline... every tutorial I've found just says "set keyframe 1 and keyframe 2 in the inspector" and that's incredibly limiting.

That is kind of a bummer, really. Maybe I'll need to adjust my workflow, but it seems like it's a MASSIVE drawback of Final Cut X.
For example:
Say I have an image on the screen at with Postion X: 97.3px and Position Y: -69.3px with the zoom set to 136.3%... (keyframe 1)
And say I want to move that image across the screen to Postion X: 32.5px and Position Y: -23.5px with a zoom set to 85.3% ... (keyframe 2)
Then say I want to let it stay in that position for 10 seconds ... after 10 seconds I'll set more keyframes by clicking the appropriate keyframe buttons and the settings will once again be set for Postion X: 32.5px and Position Y: -23.5px with a zoom set to 85.3% ... (keyframe 3)
Now say I want it to go back to the original position and zoom.   In premiere I'd just highlight all my keyframes from Keyframe 1 and paste at the new location of the playhead... with Final Cut X, i'll need to go back to Keyframe 1 and literally write down on a piece of paper: 97.3, -69.3, 136.3% ... then go back to Keyframe 4 and type them all out.   This is just a simple example, though.   The more individual parameters I'm setting at specific points... the bigger pain this will be.   Lame.
Even with the link you shared... it appears to be completely amature compared to the keyframe editing capabilities of Premiere Pro. In searching a bit on google to confirm the lack of features, I found someone else complaining:
"You cannot expand any parameter that has more than one attribute (like crop or scale or position) - making it useless.
You cannot add bezier handles to keyframes
You cannot copy and paste keyframes
When you copy and paste attributes, you have no choices as to how they will be pasted, etc... it is dismal.
All in all, it is a step backwards from FCP"
Personally, I'm a bit surprised... the more I learn about Final Cut X, the more I am starting to like it. I know a lot of professionals hated it when it initially came out, but I chaulked it up to unfamiliarity with the new software.   For me, this keyframing thing is by far the biggest drawback I've found to yet.

Cannot copy and paste album artwork v10.5.1

Used to be able to select an track, copy and paste from the album art window/frame and embed it into the tracks instead of relying on iTunes to fetch from the folder on the mac each time.
This does not seem to work anymore with this version. Right click on the window does not result in a copy/paste dialogue.

Select view source and copy/paste from there.

PSD-layered - copy and paste properties to layers in Motion?

Hi,
I imported a layered photoshop file into Motion.
I applied certain properties to one layer (with key frames, such as rotate, scale, shadow...) and I want to know if there is a way to copy those properties and paste them onto the other layers so I can then go in and do certain tweaks, without having to do each layer from scratch...
(This is something that you can do in FinalCut, copy and past attributes, but I can't seem to find that option in Motion.)
Thanks

you can do this by selecting the layers with the properties you want, then in the inspector, drag and drop the parameters onto the the layer you want them applied to.

How to copy and paste web design styles from the web

I am not doing so well with the web style templates provided in the latest versions of IWeb.
Is there a way to copy and paste the html code from some site who's design I like then paste it into my Iweb and then put in my content to the style that was up?
I used to be able to do do this about 10 years ago with a Claris Homepage program, don't see how to do it with IWeb.
It's like I have to do everything from scratch, draw background boxes, don't see frames.
Thanks everyone..
Jack E.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. No you can't copy the code form a site and use it in an iWeb page. To use frames you would use an HTML snippet and this code:
<IFRAME SRC = "URL OF PAGE YOU WANT TO FRAME" WIDTH="XXXpx" HEIGHT="XXpx" FRAMEBORDER="0" --if "0" no border, otherwise "1" with border MARGINWIDTH ="0px" MARGINHEIGHT="0px" SCROLLING="no" --"no" no scrolling bar, "yes" show always, "auto" showed when need > Your browser does not support IFRAME </IFRAME>
You can get more info at this site:iFrame code.
I've creates a demo site which describes many of the features and tricks I've learned from this forum. This iWeb FAQ site is a wealth of information on using iWeb and all of it's capabilities.

Copy and Paste results in decreased video quality

I'm working on a project that was shot with two cameras. The footage from one is in HDV 1080i60, the other footage is in 1080p24. In the Bin, the footage was in quality HD appearance, and looked the same when I put it in the sequence.
I then made a second sequence and copied + pasted each individual clip from the first sequence into the second. After rendering, the footage looked like it was at widescreen standard definition. Lots of interlacing, not very smooth motion, a little blurry, etc.
I do NOT want to have to re-edit this project from scratch (the original footage is still crisp) and need to know if there is a quick fix to this HD to Standard screwup. It's frustrating that something like copying and pasting to another sequence should cause this big of a problem.
I have tried going into Sequence>Settings in the menu, where I changed the Compressor to HDV 1080i60, but this only made the frame rate really choppy, even after rendering.

On the second sequence open the sequence settings (Command 0)
There in the bottom left click on Load sequence preset.
Choose HDV1080i60.
OK.
If the video still looks distorted then do the following:
Make a duplicate of the sequence as backup.
Select all in the timeline. Command Option V to remove attributes.
In the pop up select: Basic Motion and Distort.
OK
Is it solved?
