Is there no way to Copy/Paste an entire Layer?

I'm using Fw on a project for the first time, and although I'm loving its screendesign specific features I have some gripes with how some things work—or do not.
At the moment I'm getting very frustrated by the fact that I can't seem to copy/paste a layer with all of its objects and sublayers.
If I'm being blind—and I hope I am—please let me know!
Cheers,
Bern

I like to keep my object organized when working, especially on complicated screens. I can't imagine not using layers …though I have been using Photoshop since before layers were even around
A practical example is copying and pasting something like the table in my file, which is why posted in this forum in the first place. What could be easier then selecting the layer with all the objects on it, copying it, and pasting it into a new document for example? Fw has a long way to go in usability…
In the 10 or so hours of using Fw I've already noted the following:
- let me delete layers using the delete key (and other things in other panels, eg. pages)
- let me use arrow keys to select through items in panels
- let me name, group, reorder, and resize swatches
- let me move the insertion point in text by words and to the end/beginning of a line
- text insertion point shouldn't disappear when moving it around with arrow keys
- let me have a single column tools panel
- improve layer selection behaviour in the Layers panel (bug: sometimes Shift-select causes erratic behaviour and random selections)
- let me copy/paste a layer from the Layers panel (especially from one document to another)
- let me distribute objects by their edges or centres
- when a layer is selected, select all objects, even hidden ones, and sublayers contained in that layer
- why can't I copy and paste layers with all of their content in the correct order?
- why can't I hide layers when I have more than one state on a page?
- remember tool properties (eg. Text tool line height)
- can't Command-deselect pages in the Pages panel

Is there a way to copy & past an entire FCE project to external dr

Is there a way to copy & paste an entire FCE project to an external drive so that I can delete the project on my hard drive and begin another project?

You need to keep the following:
Your *FCE project file* (normally located in your Final Cut Express Documents folder)
Your *captured clips* (normally located in your Final Cut Express Documents / Capture Scratch folder)
Any other *source media files* - photos, sound files, etc. - that you used in your project.
You can copy the files to any folder you wish to copy them to.
There is no need to keep any of the render files. You can always rerender your project as long as you have your FCE project file and the source clips & other source media that you used in the project.

Is there a way to copy/paste text in Photoshop without keeping formatting?

Thanks.

You can use this simple workariound:
copy the desired text and paste it in a simple text editor app like notepad (win) or textedit (mac).
Then copy this unformatted text and paste it in photohop.

Is there a way to copy & paste a clip from the timeline in one project in to another project?

Hello Popular Premiere Pontificaters,
I am using Premiere 6 on a Windows 7 machine.
Is there a way to copy and paste a clip from the timeline in one project in to another project?... I can copy my clip, but when I open the other project, it will not allow me to paste it in there... but I am able to copy and paste a clip within a single project. I tried everything... pasting in to a new video track and pasting in to an existing video track in the second project, but the paste option simply isn't there when I open the second project.
And if Premiere itself will not allow me to do this in any way, will a copy-paste clipboard type of accessory app allow me to do this?... if so, which is the best, trustworthy copy-paste app that is malware free?
Thanks,
digi

Hi Bill Hunt,
I just read the page that you provided about "Handles"... thanks allot for that ARTICLE. In your article and the subsequent article HANDLES, "Transitions Overview: applying transitions" linked from your article, it indicates (in PrE and PrPro anyway - I'm in Premiere 6) that transitions can be applied to non-Video 1 tracks... the paragraph below is a quote from that "Transitions Overview: applying transitions" article...
"Whatever is below the transition in a Timeline panel appears in the transparent portion of the transition (the portion of the effect that would display frames from the adjacent clip in a two-sided transition). If the clip is on Video 1 or has no clips beneath it, the transparent portions display black. If the clip is on a track above another clip, the lower clip is shown through the transition, making it look like a double-sided transition."
So this indicates that transitions can be applied to non-Video 1 tracks since it is referring to content in tracks beneath a transparent fade that would show through... and only non-Video 1 tracks can be transparent and have other clips "beneath" them in the timeline, right?
In the screenshot sample in your article at this LINK, I see the handles (referred to as B and E) and I can see in my monitor window how those handles would be represented by the two little bracket symbols { } ... you can see how they appear in my monitor window in Premiere 6 in this screenshot, and below, from a different thread that isn't related to this topic.
But I'm still trying to figure out how the handles can be applied in the non-Video 1 tracks in the timeline to insert a transition (cross-dissolve) between two clips.
Can you advise me on this?... I posted a separate thread HERE on this topic, but I haven't got any further with finding an answer.
Thanks so much for your article,
digi

Is there any way to copy/paste multiple markers at a time, keeping the same intervals?

In Final Cut Pro X, I would like to copy many markers from a clip and paste them onto another clip with the same intervals, but I cannot find the way... Would it be possible?

I think the way I would do it is to copy the section of the timeline that has the existing markers and paste it to where you want the new ones. Both the markers and the content will travel to the new position on your timeline. Then use the replace edit to insert the new content, The markers will remain in place.

Is there any way to copy/paste multiple events?

For example, suppose I set up a generic set of events for the second day of making bread.
8AM take pre-ferment out of fridge to warm up.
9-9:30 make wheat dough.
10-12 dough rises.
12-12:15 make loaves
12:15-2:15 second rising
2:15-2:45 baking
2:45-3:30 cool loaves
I'd like to be able to copy those events and paste them into a new day.
Thanks,
Phil

Is there a way to copy and paste excel table contents to a pdf table form?

Is there a way to copy and paste excel table contents to a pdf table form?

It's not something I have tried before. Have you tried it, and what's happened?
Basically, copy/pasting tables is a bit of a problem - anywhere. Table formats are different in different circumstances - Excel, HTML, PDF, ...
If you copy a HTML table and paste it into an Excel sheet, the entire table will go into one single cell.
So most likely what you are trying to achieve will not work.

HT5029 Is there a way to copy an event from a subscribed (non-iCloud) calendar to an iCloud calendar?

Is there a way to copy an event from a public, subscribed calendar to a private calendar? I've tried the "Copy" entry as well as the calendar selection list, but neither work for me for non-iCloud subscribed calendars. It seems like I should be able to copy and event from one calendar into another.

Hi,
It works here.
Control-Click the event and select 'copy'. Click on the calendar you want to paste the event to, so it is highlighted with a grey background. Then select 'paste'.
Best wishes

No it's not.

Dashboard, is there a way to copy the dictionary answer to a looked up word?

is there a way to copy the dictionary answer to a looked up word, copy and paste?Each time I highlight the defination the command copy will not work, is there a key sequence I need to use?

Works here, I just tested. (I assume you're talking about the dictionary widget on the Dashboard.)
confused |kənˈfyo͞ozd|adjective(of a person) unable to think clearly; bewildered: she was utterly confused about what had just happened | a very confused and unhappy boy.
Are you sure you're pressing command-c, not something like control-c? If you're new to Macs, the control-c keystroke from Windows may be so ingrained you're pressing that without realizing it.
Edit: Note that I didn't mean to imply you're not thinking clearly with the definition of the word I looked up, it was just the first word that popped into my mind!
