Fcpx - can't copy & paste between projects

I'm building a program that has several distinct parts to it and I need to put some of those parts together into one sequence - or "project" as fcpx calls it. The media length is about 30 minutes. It should be as simple as copy & paste. I've tried using keyboard shortcuts and the drop-down menu from above - neither works. It does the copying part but when I go to paste nothing happens (paste is greyed out above). I then tried to C&P smaller bits of the program. The first time it worked, but never again after that. If it pastes anything at all, it pastes something other than what I selected and copied. Crazy. Has anyone else out there experienced this? Does anyone have any suggestions/workarounds? Thanks!

Got the same problem here. Then I came to realize that there're one (or some) footage, or in my case, a audio file that causes this problem. delete that from my project, and i can do the copy and paste again. I don't know exactly what's wrong with those files, but, thank god that it's not an important one. You may have to copy & paste mutiple times to see witch of the files got wrong( the troubled one can't correctly be copy and paste)

Did copy paste between projects get lost in LG 9?

A thing I often did in LG 8, was copying a bunch of midi regions from one LG project to another.
It was brilliant, as you just select the regions in one sequence, copy them, go to the other sequence, hit paste and it would ask if I wanted to paste them on track with the same name or something like that, and it would always put the regions on the right tracks in the same track setup.
Now, in LG 9, when I try doing that, it doesn't ask me anything, and just sticks all the tracks at the bottom of my sequence when I hit paste.
If I only had 5 tracks that wouldn't be such a big deal, but my template has 600 tracks, and dragging the regions on the right tracks takes way too much time.
Is this a setting I need to click somewhere, or did this feature get lost in LG 9?
I know about the import setting, but that takes too much time and in a template with 600 tracks I woulnd't instantly know which tracks I contain regions.
Thanks

when I export to DV, it still doesn't look as good as when I go straight from iMovie6 to iDVD?
Doesn't look as good where? Remember that iMovie display is only a preview. Also QT Player defaults to low-res display of DV clips.
I am using Expert Settings
iMovie's expert settings are buggy so use the Full Quality preset instead.

Can you Share Scenes between projects?

Can you Share Scenes between projects?
I would like to take already created scenes and share them
between files and projects so multiple people can use them as a
resource. Can it be done?

Scenes are just for authoring convenience, they basically
blank frames giving an end to one
and beginning to another timeline so you can't actually
define scene like you could a movie clip.
What you can do however is to Copy frames by unlocking all
the layers, highlighting all the frames
and CTRL ALT C than open new file and paste the frames CTRL
ALT V
That's the only way to share the scene.

Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?

Message title says it: Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?
I can't find anything in the Knowledge Base that says these two options no longer work or still do.
I do not have a system capable of running Lion, but I need to know the answer nonetheless.

Gee, I don't know: "paste attachments mail Lion"? ;-)
One further question, if I may: in Panther (which is where I've aggregated nearly 7 years of mail), if you copy more than one file in the Finder, switch to Mail, and paste the files into a new message, only the file names paste in. If you copy one file and paste it into a Mail message, you get the file, not just the name. Is that still true, or has that (IMHO) bug been fixed since 10.3.9?

How can I copy/paste text from one page to another?

I feel like I am taking crazy pills... is there really no way to copy a text box (or group) from one page to another while creating books in Aperture 3? Lets say I have my entire book laid out and I want to add one paragraph at the end on one page which will push text and photos down a half page or so... in most programs for the last decade or so they added really cool functionality... cut/paste... It seems like the apple developers are aware of it because they are in the context menus but they don't work on text, only photo boxes. Additionally, you can copy/paste text but it erases all formatting.
Seriously, am I missing something? I have trouble believing that they can't include this function.
Anyone else have this issue?

Update... it seems to only happen with text boxes which I create. So when I try an existing theme I can cut/copy/paste just fine, but in that same theme if you edit the layout and add a new text box, I can't copy paste it anywhere... the options are in the menu but nothing happens.
Thoughts? Solutions?

How can I copy/paste without copying the formatting?

How can I copy/paste without copying the formatting? For example, if I copy a sentence from a website and paste it on text editing program, it copies all the formatting as well. How can I turn that off?

There is an app called "No Formatting" in the App Store. It is simple and works perfectly - it strips formatting from paste (Ctr-V). I needed it for Word and Excel, which don't have keyboard shortcuts for this. It can be toggled on and off from the Menu Bar.

How can i Copy paste from e-mail to Notebook or textbook

How can i Copy pasta from some Content of e-mail to the notepad or textbook or word?

hold your finger down in the body of the mail - the part you want to copy. a blue box will comeup and offer to 'select/select all' or something like that. choose the appropriate choice. If you only want part of it that bubble will have two handles that allow you to drag out the selection box.
then hold your finger down again and another bubble will come up offering to cut/copy the words. choose copy
then navigate to your notes app (not sure about the textbook, depends on whether or not it support it) and hold your finger down in an empty text area. you'll get another blue bubble offering to paste it. choose that and the words should appear. then save as appropriate.

How can I copy&paste a keyframe?

How can I copy&paste a keyframe?
Imagine : I decide, after having animated a scene, to freeze un object for a few seconds.
I can, of course, create a new keyframe and digit the same size and position (but it takes a while).
isn't there a simpler way : copy&paste a keyframe?

How can i copy,paste an Object ?

How can i copy,paste an Object which i define by myself?

implements Cloneable and define a clone method, for example
public class ObjectA implements Cloneable {
   // Data member
   String data;
   public ObjectA() {
   public void setData(String data) {
      this.data = data;
   public Object clone() {
       ObjectA tempObject = new ObjectA();
       tempObject.setData(this.data);
       return tempObject;
}

Can't copy/paste or move objects.

Entire Edit Menu, other than "Clear" is grayed out – can't copy/paste anything. Also can't move objects with direct selection tool. Reset preferences and still have same problem. Ideas?
Mac 10.6.8, CS5.5
Thanks!

I just had this problem as well. I'm using InDesign CS6, MacOS 10.6.8 where my cut & Paste grayed out and after I made any kind of object. Even though I could select it, I couldn't drag it/move it UNLESS I used my arrow keys to do so. I tried deleting my prefs and restarting InDesign multiple times as listed above but after a full shut down and restart of my machine I finally saw operations return to normal.
Just an FYI.

Retaining SFX and music when copying/pasting one project to another

I noticed that when I tried to copy/paste one project into another, the video makes it, but any added sound effects and background music do not get brought along.
Does anyone know how to override this, so when I copy and paste the project, the SFX and music get copies and pasted, too? Thanks.

I spoke with AppleCare and they said this is not possible.

QT Pro - .mov files - can't copy/paste/export - opens browser

On a couple .mov files, when I open them, my browser opens also. As for the .mov files, I can't copy, paste, export etc.
Can anyone explain this, and is there a way to resolve the browser and other issues?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

thanks Terence,
So I went into Iphoto, selected the Trimmed Movie and selected. PHOTOS, revert to Original.
Now I can COPY and PASTE the MOVIE from Iphoto to a normal Folder.
I then opened the original .mov file in Quicktime and trim the movie. I then go to close and save
"The Operation could not be completed, an unknown error occured"

Can't copy, paste or save

I can't copy, paste or save in Dreamweaver 5.5. This is frustrating because about 3 months ago CS2 Design Suite crashed and I can't reinstall it. Please help! I'm getting no support.

What is the error message you're getting when you try to copy/ paste/ save? Is this happening only for 1 file or all files?
Can you open up Adobe Application Manager and check to see if you have any updates available for DW and ensure its up-to-date?

Can't Copy/Paste betweet Two Projects

I want to copy/paste a clip (which includes 2 video and 2 audio tracks) between two projects. I open Project 1 and copy a clip. I open Project 2 and paste. But the paste does not work. The last copy I did in Project 2 (of a clip that was already in Project 2) is the only thing that pastes, not the clip that I'm bring over from Project 1. So then I went back to Project 1 and "exported" an xml sequence which contained the clip I wanted to paste into Project 2. The import into project 2 worked but still I could not copy/paste from the imported sequence to the target sequence in Project 2. I didn't want to drag he new sequence imported from Project 1 into the the sequence into Project 2 because I needed to have access to all of the original tracks. Why doesn't a regular Windows copy/paste not work and what can I do to get the clip from Project 1 to the targeted timeline in Project 2?

If all else fails, couldn't you always just import the original sequence you're trying to copy from? Open it and copy/paste into the sequence you really want it in?

Copy and Paste between projects not keeping 16:9 ratio?

I wanted to combine two iMovie project files, and I have tried to do an import (gives a -43 Quicktime error), so then I just tried the Copy/Paste feature. It works (ie: brings in my video) with the transitions/effects (ken burns) still applied, but it will only display as a 4:3 video.
I have turned off the Automatic DV Pillarbox setting, but it still is doing it. Any ideas or am I just out of luck on this one?
Eric
PS: I know I can just export the files to a full DV image, but I was hoping to keep it intact so I can edit all the Ken Burns/transitions later.

when I export to DV, it still doesn't look as good as when I go straight from iMovie6 to iDVD?
