How to cut and paste subtitles (with formatting)?

In iMovie '09, once I've formatted a subtitle to look the way I want, how can I repeatedly cut and paste that subtitle so that I don't need to redo the formatting for every subsequent subtitle?
I realize this is probably trivial once you see it ... but it's not obvious to me. Couldn't find it in Help or in Apple's FindOutHow movie.

  • Mac Word 2008 Cut-And-Paste broken with DW CS3

    The title pretty much says it all - something is failing in
    the process of cutting text from a MS Word 2008 (Mac) document into
    Dreamweaver CS3. Nothing gets transferred.
    I can cut text from Word and paste into other text editors
    (BBEdit, TextMate, TextEdit) without any problem... and can then
    cut and paste that into DW... but, of course, all formatting
    information is stripped - which isn't always a bad thing: this is
    Word, after all...
    Cut-and-paste from Word 2004 worked OK. It's a strange thing
    to have break... and it's odd to me that Word got out of beta with
    this, given the fact that Dreamweaver is as popular as it
    is.

    Well, I can't give any dates, but it's not any time in the
    next few
    months.
    If I figure out an easy workaround, I'll let you know
    directly.
    - Vic

    Request and Bug Report Form for Dreamweaver
    Since upgrading to Office 2008, I can
    no longer copy and paste text from Microsoft Word to
    Dreamweaver.
    When I click Edit -> Paste, or Cmd-V, nothing happens. If
    I do a
    Paste Special routine and choose unformatted text, then it
    *usually*
    works.
    Dreamweaver did not have this issue with Word 2004.

  • How to Cut and Paste a file on Mac

    Hey guys,
    Nice to meet you here. I am a new Mac Book Pro 13" Retina Display user with OS X Yosemite. I just switched to Mac from Windows last week.
    So far I have a great experience using Mac. However one thing is troubling me. How do I cut and paste a file? I've tried command+x and command+v but it doesnt work. I can copy and paste though by using command+c and command+v.
    Your help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Arief

    nice pick...........
    I mean that i dont have to cut and paste just data in
    that files, but i have to cut and paste whole file
    from one location to other.
    Yup, if you need to do that physically you walk over to the filing cabinet, get the file out, cut it to pieces, take the pieces to the new location, glue them back together, and put the recreated file in the new filing cabinet.

  • How to cut and paste long Word document into text generator?

    I have a very long list of attributions in a Word document.
    When I cut and paste it into the "Sample Text" area, it goes in fine.
    But when I try to look at it ... either as simple text or, preferred, scrolling ... I only get parts of the document.
    I can correct it by adding a 'return' in the middle of every few words.
    But my document is so long, it would take a long time to do that one by one.
    Solutions sought: How to just import the whole document and have it scroll, zip-zip?!

    Thank you DH and skalaki, I had not known of the Boris title generator. Funny, I had looked in the FCE online manual until 'titling' and editing text ... didn't see mention of that.
    In any case ... I've now found it and trust I'll be able to figure it out.
    Since skalaki was first with the answer, I awarded the 'solved' there. DH's comments were further helpful.

  • How to cut and paste multiple items

    How can you cut and paste multiple items on the clipboard?

    Just go to Security & Privacy, unlock it with your admin password...
    ...and under the "General" tab allow applications... tick "Anywhere". After the install, I'd change it back. You can also just control-click the app/installer and select "Open" - you'll get a warning that the app is from an unidentified developer, but it will open.
    Good luck,

  • How to cut and paste a picture into a shape in Illustrator CS4

    In illustrator CS4 I am trying to cut and paste a picture into a shape. In freehand the shortcut was so easy. I know there is one in Illustrator but cant remember what it is, can anyone tell me?

    K8,
    What Steve said, with the addition that you may get rid of the outlying parts, by:
    1) With the mask selected, in the Transparency palette dropdown select anything but Normal,
    2) Object>Flatten Transparency, no need to change options,
    unless you have withheld information and really want to distort the picture to fit the shape, in which case you should select both shape and picture and Object>Envelope Distort>Make with Top Object.
    The procedure 1) - 2) is destructive in case of vector artwork but makes no difference with raster images, and it makes it easier to avoid accidental/unwanted selection outside the  Clipping Mask.

  • How to Cut and Paste (and delete)

    So I doubled down last month and got a new Bold and a Playbook.  This despite poor reviews and RiM's  bad press.
    The reason is that I wanted my Playbook to replace my notebook when at home and traveling.  Well, I blew out my knee playing sports and have been working from home post-surgery.  Playbook is great for couch while knee cup and iced.
    My very big frustration - and it really affects my work capability - is the Playbook's capability at cutting and pasting.  I need to be able to cut and paste links and text and edresses from emails and internet and msword to each other.  Is this possible outside word to go?  How?  Relatedly, I need to be able to delete and edit the text of forwarded emails, so I can remove ill-advised intermediate commentary.
    For a tablet whose competitive advantage MUST be ease of business use, these are big issues.  If these capabilities aren't there on the Playbook, I would implore RIM to address and other forum users to lobby for same.  RIM has to get these kinds of issues right to survive.
    Thanks in advance.
    P.S. - I searched topics and didn't find answer.
    P.P.S. - I also badly need the ability to redline or mark my changes in word to go.  Crucial!

    Looks to me like the decision was made to disable copy and paste in bridged apps maybe for security reasons. Seems to be a bit erratic too as some discussions include people that claim to be able to do it, maybe it's OS version dependant. Would have been nice if we could have been given the option though!
    To me it's issues like this that make the Playbook seem more like a beta level rushed to market device than a fully developed business tool. And now RIM can't even get the functions that would make what is great hardware truly useful within a reasonable timescale!

    Many of the windows conventions are similar, but substitute use of the  Command key for Alt key in windows when using a Mac..

    The big differences is Apple specified to programmers early on what these conventions would be and they are consistent (with few exceptions) on all Mac Apps.

  • Is it possible to export my contacts? if so how? cut and paste does not help as all i need is the name

    all my contacts have cell phone numbers next to their name. i would like to print a list of only this field. How do i do this? i tried to cut and past to Excel but it not a "clean fit" and is more trouble than it is worth. is there an easier way?

    Firefox does not have a contacts list. Any contacts list will be part of a website that you are using, you need to contact the support for the site to see if they have an option to export the contacts.

  • Cut and Paste Bug with SUM( )

    If SUM( ) refers to multiple ranges, and one of those ranges is Cut and then Pasted to another location, the SUM( ) function is not changed to reflect the new location of those Cut and Pasted cells.  Instead, SUM( ) continues to refer to the original locations.
    I tried this in Excel and it works well.
    I am using
       iPad Numbers Version:     1.5 (423)
       iOS Version:                    5.0.1

    Followed your steps exactly and it's exactly like I said in my previous post. Cut and paste works for effects. Here's exactly what I did except for the part where I created the worst illustrator art that I've ever seen. Just two layers, lovely colors. The .ai file is imported as a comp with retain layer sizes selected. A black brush is chosen set to write on and silhouette luma. The size is adjusted to cover the line easily, I paint on the line, press the e key to reveal the effect in the timeline. It's there, it's also in the ECW so I select the effect, cut it, go to the composition, use Cmnd+Y to create a new layer and paste Cmnd + V and the paint effect is applied to the solid.
    There's something going on with your machine, some third party plug-in, some other app, some other issue that's preventing this from working.
    Here's my little movie of the whole experiment.
    I'd make sure that your AE version is the latest, that you have your memory and processing set to the defaults, and that you're not running any other apps while testing AE. If there's still a problem, file a bug. Your machine is not behaving as my machine and every other Mac I routinely work on is behaving.

  • Cut and Paste problem with links in DW

    Anyone have a clue as to why this is happening.....
    when I cut and paste a complex link -- DW seems to add some characters.... see below....

    http://spie.org/app/program/index.cfm?fuseaction=exhibitordetail&exhibitorid=20189&meeting _id=169
    Simple links stay the same... but this got me in a little hot water with a client when I sent out an email from constant contact....
    Thanks

    oh... couple things.... I'm working on:
    OS 10.6.2  (MAC)
    CS4

    "it's adding  amp after the & sign"
    It's not actually adding "amp".
    DW is assisting you by encoding the "&" (which validators assume to be a broken HTML entity since they start with "&") and replacing it with the correct form of "&" so that browsers can understand the URL.

  • How to cut and paste in os x lion

    if i need to cut a folder and paste it somewhere else ,, what would i do ? also in the edit menu i find the cut option is inactive ,,why ? any help

    The above instructions will make a copy of the file in the new location, leaving the original in its place.
    To CUT and paste you:
    (1) Highlight file/folder, and copy from Edit menu or command-c.
    (2) Navigate to destination, hold option key down and select "Move item here" from Edit menu, or hit option-command-v.
    This will move the file to the new location, removing the file from the old location.
