Copying motion keyframe attributes

I'm sure there's a way to do this, I think I've even seen it done in a tutorial, but I'm at a loss: after performing a motion track on a short clip, I wanted to veeery slightly move the video that had the track attributes pasted to it.  How do I copy the keyframe attributes from the one frame I moved it onto all the other keyframes?  288 frame clip, so rather not go frame-by-frame, but if I copy the attributes of just the one frame, won't it stay in the same spot for the whole clip instead of moving?

If I understand your situatiuon properly, here's what to do:
Undo the movement of that one keyframe
Select ALL the keyframes
With the timeline cursor over one of the keyframes, nudge the layer using the cursor up-down-right-left keys
Everything moves the same amount.

  • Copy/Paste Keyframes for multiple stills?

    Is there a way to use the keyframe motion that is set for one still picture and copy and paste it to a group of still pictures in a row (if all images are the same length)?  I am doing a slideshow of pictures in FCE and was hoping to find a way to save time by using the settings for one image for all of my images.
    Thank you!

    Click on the clip on the timeline that has the motion keyframe effect you want to copy to select it.
    Type Command + C to copy the clip.
    Select all the clips you want to paste the motion keyframe effect to (hold the shift key down while clicking on the clips).
    Once selected, type Option + V to bring up the paste attributes window, and click on the checkboxes for the attributes you want to paste to the selected clips.
    Click OK.

  • Motion keyframe effect stretch to new clip duration

    Sorry for the lame subject title, but I'm not sure I know how to be more descriptive, or search for previously posted info about this.
    I have 98 still images on a timeline to which I want to apply a "zoom in" motion effect, and add a 2 sec dissolve transition between each. Is there a way to apply the "zoom in" effect without the dissolve in between, and then, when I add the dissolve, have the motion effect stretch out to affect the new clip duration? As everyone here will know, the transition adds time on to both ends of the clip with the previously applied motion keyframes staying put. Obviously, the effect I get is a dissolve happens, the clip then zooms up, stops, and then the next dissolve occurs.
    Sorry to over-explain something so simple. Just looking for, hopefully, an overlooked shortcut.

    But in your method Alex, the transitions are adding frames at the beginnings of clips which means the new clip will dissolve completely in before moving. I'm sure that's not what the OP is looking for.
    The easiest method for this is actually a variation on Arsenal's first post.
    Apply a transition between the first and second pics in your timeline.
    Then keyframe your move on the first pic so you are seeing all the available frames (including the ones used in the transition). If it's a simple zoom move for instance, mark a keyframe at the first frame of the clip, and then on the last frame adjusting the scale to taste.
    Apply transitions to all clips in the sequence. If using the same transition this can be done easily by lassoing all clips in the timeline and dragging them into the Canvas, choosing overwrite with transition to apply the default transition to every clip. In FCP 7, this has been made even easier.
    Once you have transitions on all your clips, copy the properties of the first pic (CMD+C).
    Select all the other clips in the sequence. Hit OPT+C to bring up the Paste Attributes dialog box. choose Basic Motion and make sure that Scale attribute times is selected. Hit OK.
    The same move from the first pic will be stretched or shrunk to fit the length of each clip in the sequence and FCP takes the transitional frames into consideration as well.

  • Copying Only Rotation Attributes

    I need to copy the same set of ROTATION keyframes to a large amount of clips. Some of the clips have different SCALE and CENTER keyframes already set, so I can't simply Paste Attributes—Basic Motion. Is there some kind of workaround?
    Thanks very much.

    Well, I am not sure what the "easiest" way to do this would be.
    I guess if it were me, I would make a copy of my sequence, then ON THAT COPY, I would move every photoshop clip (with the motion descent applied) to the end of the sequence, on V1 in a row so that they are all un-rendered and over nothing. Then I would mark an in at start of this row of photoshop clips and an out at the end.
    Then I would export using quicktime conversion a movie in the Animation Codec with the Compression Depth set to Millions+ to preserve the alpha channel.
    !http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/Animation%2BSetting.jpg!
    Once I had exported this movie, I would import it back into FCP, and place all my photoshop clips back into position by using the Animation codec clip as a source. Now I would have all the clips preforming the descent but no motion keyframes applied. Then I would apply the rotation (I guess different among three or four clips) and copy and paste the various rotations to the Animation codec clips.'
    Then render.

  • Copy - paste Keyframed transforms only

    Hi
    In Flash CS3 is it possible to copy a Keyframed and tweened animation of say a symbol growing larger and paste the Keyframes of the scaling transform onto a different symbol on a different layer so that this new symbol animates in the same way as the first symbol.
    When I try this with "ctrl alt c / v" the new symbol becomes the same as the old symbol and also moves to the same position too. I need to only copy the scale transform info in the Keyframes.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks for any help
    Graz

    I finally found out how to do this:
    Select frames to copy
    Right click
    Select Copy motion
    Select object to receive animation
    Right click object
    Select paste motion or Paste motion special
    The latter gives a choice of which parameters to copy over.

  • Copy motion as actionscript 3.0

    Hi all,
    i have a small question.
    I am working on a movie with multiple timelines and i try to use the "copy motion as actionscript 3.0" feature. when prompted for "instance name" should i give exact location (meaning: "parent_movie.instance_name")? or simply the instance name on its own?

  • Cannot find 'copy motion as actionscript' in Flash CC

    Hi,
    I am trying to copy a tween animation to Actionscript 3.0 code using the instructions from this tutorial: Animation Learning Guide for Flash: Using ActionScript 3 | Adobe Developer Connection
    When I select the frames on the time line and right click the menu item "Copy Motion as ActionScript 3" is not there.
    I have a "Copy motion as XML" menu item in the Command menu, but can't find "Copy Motion as ActionScript 3" anywhere. Has it been deprecated? Or am I doing something wrong?
    Here is the XML code for my test file that get's generated:

    Kind Regards from Erlend

    i don't know why it was removed, but in general the adobe engineers had to decide which features from the 32bit flash pro (cs) should be added to the 64bit flash pro (cc).  and there were time-constraints so the more features carried-over, the long it would take to release cc.
    i don't know if it's better to use xml because i've never seen the need to use either feature, ever.  in fact, i don't use the flash timeline tweening and i don't use the flash tween class.  like many flash professionals, i use a 3rd party library from greensock, tweenlite (usually and lately tweenmax).
    and finally yes, cc subscribers can use flash pro cs6:  open your cc desktop app>click apps>filters&versions>previous versions>flash pro install>cs6.

  • Copying motion values between clips/sequences

    I have a few sequences where I use still images for backgrounds.
    Is there any way to copy paste the values in the Motion tab (scale and center) between clips and sequences?
    Now I have to double-click one clip, remember the values for scaling, position, etc and then switch to another seqeunce, open the corresponding clip and enter the values. Quite time-consuming and the risk for errors are at lest present.
    So, any tips are greatly appreciated!

  • Can You Copy and Paste Attributes in FCPX?

    I'm just getting started with my FCPX training, (after years of edidting in FCP).  I frequntly use the "copy and paste attributes" feature in FCP, (say you make some adjustments to a clip, you can copy these attributes and paste them on to another clip).  VERY SLICK and USFULL.  Does anybody know how this is done in FCPX?  Thanks

    Similar though you don't have the same level of control as you'll notice. Copy the clip you want to use as the source and then Paste Effects- both from the Edit menu. This will copy over everything so plan things out if you want to use this feature.

  • Final Cut Express 4 motion keyframing

    I'm thoughly famaliar with FCP6, but haven't seen Final Cut Express since FCE Version 2.
    I've been asked to teach FCE4 to a friend, but haven't seen it yet and am trying to prepare.
    Is motion keyframing (scaling, cropping) handled the same way in FCE4 as it is in FCP6
    (ie. in the motion tab of the Viewer), or do you have to do it in the timeline overlay area?
    Thanks.
    Message was edited by: brvideo

    Yes, FCE4 handles keyframing the same way as FCP6. You can do it in the motion tab of the viewer or by clicking the keyframe button in the canvas to add a universal keyframe to all motion parameters. You can do the scaling, cropping, etc. in the motion tab or in the canvas if it is in Image+Wireframe mode.

  • Conditional copy of payload attributes after HT

    Hi,
    How can I conditionally copy the payload attributes after the execution of a HT.
    Say that I have an attribute in my payload named hasAtlestOneCustomerAcceptedOffer and I have a Parellel gateway where I create multiple tasks in parellel.
    I want to copy the value of this attribute only when it is "Yes". I looked at teh data associations but couldn't be sure about how to do it ..
    I am using 11.1.16
    Thanks

    Hi --
    You have to use the XSLT 'if' or 'when' constructs - you can find examples here:
    - http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/el_if.asp
    - http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/el_when.asp
    Hope this helps,

  • Duplicate / Copy a keyframe of propertyType "CUSTOM_VALUE"

    Hi there,
    I have my own effect which has an arbritary data type for it's keyframes. When i want to copy all keyframes to another composition with the same effect, i can simply copy paste it with ctrl+c - ctrl+v.
    But when i want to do that by script, ExtendScript Tookit is telling me that i cannot do that.
    I'm trying to get or set the value of a keyframe with propertyType "CUSTOM_VALUE". Is there any way i can accomplish that or any way around this?
    Another issue I'm running into are hidden properties. They can be read but not written. Is there any way I can set the value of a hidden property (like unhide it and hide it again) ?
    Many thanks in advance!

    You should be able to trace what's being sent from the screen, and what command is to be performed by the database.
    Turn on system tracing ( http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e10792/c02_processes.htm#CSMSP535 ) for requestaudit and systemdatabase
    If you confirm that the value for dDocTitle is indeed blank, check your script again (there can be a typo, or anything). I'd go with Boris's other recommendation and add a constant suffix, so that you can get rid of the constraint violation error and then fine tune everything else.
    P.S. actually, it's not a constraint violation, but a feature - see here http://ora-01400.ora-code.com/

    speed = distance x time +hey, that's 5th grade physics!+
    example:
    you have keyframe#1 on the very left of viewer
    keyframe#2 on very right of viewer...
    if #2 is set just 4 frames later than #1 => speedy!
    if #2 is set 120 frames later than #1 => a gentle, smooth move..
    check, where _in timeline_ your KFs are set..
