"Paste Attributes" question.

Hi,
I've got a hundred or more 4x3 clips in my 16x9 timline. Automatic Duck brought over the "Center" value in the Basic Motion filter, but lost the Scale and Distort values.
I would like to paste the default attribute of 133 for scale and 33.3 for distort to expand the 4x3 clips to fit a 16x9 frame, but when I paste attributes, I lose the "Center" value. In this case the Center value is used to determine which part of the 4x3 frame gets cropped in the 16x9 sequence.
Anyway, is there any trick to pasting the attributes, but preserving the Center value?
thank you....

one way to adjust scale only might be to export an xml of your sequence and then open it in a text editor... you could then do a search and replace on:
<parameterid>scale</parameterid>
<name>Scale</name>
<valuemin>0</valuemin>
<valuemax>1000</valuemax>
<value>0</value>
and replace it with:
<parameterid>scale</parameterid>
<name>Scale</name>
<valuemin>0</valuemin>
<valuemax>1000</valuemax>
<value>133</value>
it might work ... it would depend on what text editor you used (it would need to be able to handle UTF-8 character codes)

  • Copy/paste Attributes to multiple clips supported in CS3?

    Adobe premiere pro 2 doesn't support this function. Is not possible to paste attributes (including frame Hold settings) onto multiple (highlighted) clips, the option becomes shaded if you try. It was supported in 5.0 and 6.0 but was dropped in recent versions. Anyone try it?

  • Copying and pasting attributes and styles of text track

    Simple question,
    I have two text tracks and would like to copy and pasts the attributes and style tabs in "inspector" to another text track. How could I do this without having to manually set each individual track as I create it.
    Thanks,

    Did you check the opacity value in the paste attributes dialog?

  • Copy and Paste Attributes

    Is it possible to cut and paste attributes between Soundtrack Pro projects?

    If I understand your question correctly, then Yes, there is a very easy way to copy the attributes from one object (or text sample) to another:
    In the Toolbar at the top of our Editing Window, there should be two icons: Copy Style and Paste Style. If you don't see them, then you need to go to the View Menu and select Customize Toolbar; here you can select and drag these (and any other tools you want to add) into your Toolbar.
    Once you have these tools available, all you need to do is select any object, click the Copy tool to capture the style (attributes) and then when you select another object, click the Paste tool to apply them. This also works, as mentioned above, with text.
    Good luck.

  • Paste Attributes Not Working

    Hello,
    I am color grading a film in 10.0.9 and all of a sudden the paste attributes has stopped working.
    When I click paste attributes, it looks like it renders the file. The paste attribute box does not come up.
    I have tried trashing preferences, deleting rendered files, re-installing fcpx, copying all the project files to a new project. ..nothing is solving this.
    It's driving me crazy! Any help much appreciated!

    Not by downloading. If you saved a BU version – having either followed the steps in this document or the restore feature of either Time Machine or some other BU utility – you could, of course, roll back to an earlier version. The problem is any projects you have updated in the interim would not open.
    I've just reviewed your thread from the beginning. Two questions:1) have you tried deleting project render files and turning off BG Rendering? 2) Does this occur with any project; have you tried a new project with completely different media as a test of pasting attributes?

  • Pasting Attributes with Title 3D? - A follow up inquiry

    Hello All,
    The other day I asked whether it is possible to copy and paste attributes from a text 3D title to another. The answer/solution offered was to take a "master" format, and then change the specific names and titles in each clip.
    I keep thinking about this solution, and it surprises me. In the same way that one can take an Excel spreadsheet and copy the format from one to another, I would think that it would be advantageous (as well as popular) to have such control with titles in FCP.
    I'm not a programmer, so I don't know if this is asking the world. Is it just a feature that hasn't been developed, or is it a complicated function, or do folks simply determine up front what the titles will look like, and if they change their mind, go back and retype all of the information?
    Just curious.
    Thanks.
    DG

    Title 3D does let you create and save "styles" that you can reuse whenever you choose to do so.

  • Trying to Paste Attributes - AUDIO ONLY. I copy the clip I want - then click Paste Attributes - previously a box appeared with options - now nothing appears.  Only happening with AUDIO attributes.  Anyone else experiencing this?

    I am trying to Paste Attributes of AUDIO ONLY - from one clip to another audio clip.  These are the settings for the VOICE OVER on my 15 minute project.  This has worked before.  However now I copy the clip I want o use the attributes from - then I selct PASTE ATTRIBUTES. In the past a new dialogue box would appear and offer me the opportunity to select the attributes or effects I wanted to COPY and PASTE.  Hoever now - there is NOTHING. 
    I also want to REMOVE the ATTRIBUTES from 287 clips - but apparently I can only do this one at a time?  That seems like the most ridiculous thing in the world.  Certainly this can't be true?  Is there no way to remove ALL Attrributes from all of the clips at the same time?
    Anyone?  Anyone?

    I cannot reproduce this. It is working as expected here: select a clip, copy, select another clip (or clips), paste attributes, and I get the usual window - this works for audio only clips as well as other clips.
    I suggest you try deleting FCP X preferences with Preference Manager and try again.

    Select the clips you want, and delete the effects in the Inspector by selecting and hitting the delete key.

  • After upgrade to FCPX 10.1, paste attributes no longer works. Has any one had a similar experience or have an answer?

    After upgrade to FCPX 10.1, paste attributes no longer works. Has anyone had this issue or have an answer to it?

    Are you sure it does not work at all? Could be a problem with a particular project, or clip.
    Create a completely new project, add some clips to it, Cmd-C in one clip, and try Paste Atributes into another. Does it not work?
    Also, by "does not work" do you mean it is greyed out, or the window appears but nothing happens when you click "Paste"?

  • 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.

  • Pasting attributes not working properly in FCPX 10.1

    I have an ongoing project in which I use the paste attributes command frequently. I've noticed in 10.1 that the paste attributes doesn't work properly. In particular the trim and possition attributes. When I paste the attributes, the image is trimmed and the possition is moved, but not the same as the clip from which the attributes were copied.
    Any ideas?

    I'm having the same issue, and no one seems to have a solution/know whats going on...

  • Copy Paste Attributes

    First off - I will admit I am a FCP editor who is figuring out Motion in fits and starts. Basically what I am building is a bullet point graphic of 5 list items where it starts with all 5 visible, fully opaque, and after a couple seconds, 4 lines dim to 10 percent opacity and the 5th line grows larger and moves to the center. I built the first version of this, keyframing all the opacity and move/grows. I then save the project and rename it "2nd line move." What I want to do is be able to copy the attributes from the one line that grows and moves ("1st line move") to the new, renamed project. In FCP I use copy/paste attributes for situations like this. I can't seem to figure out how to do it in Motion, without pretty much creating new keyframes on each version of the same graphic.
    What am I missing?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    hi,
    a simple way is to click on the object you have animated, and then simply to click and hold on the position parameter name in the inspector and drag it to the object you want to copy the animation too.
    You can do this for the scale parameter as well.

  • Paste Attributes TO  clips in the Browser?

    With my underwater footage, often a Color Corrector filter worked out for one clip would be usefully applied to a group of clips shot under the same conditions.
    I've been able to copy clips (from Timeline or Browser) with filters applied and then Edit>Paste-Attribute the filters to clips in the Timeline. But I don't get the Paste-Attribute menu box when I select a clip in the Browser that I'd like to paste the filter to. Both the User Manual and The (3.5) Book suggest that this is possible.
    It would be a lot more convenient to apply a refined Color Corrector in the Browser and be able to check the result without rendering.
    Hope that as usual I have missed some dumb detail. Please tell me how to do it right, somebody - Forum Search wasn't helpful.

    It worked! (after I figured out to use the little drag hand icon and not the tab...) I know it would be better to get color properly with the camcorder in the first place, but U/W lighting is an art I am still working on.
    Thanks, Tom.
    Sharron S.
    BTW if I apply a stored color corrector to a clip in the Viewer and then tweak it, that won't change the filter parameters on the filter saved in the browser or on any of the other clips that had that filter applied, will it? All the clips are master clips...

  • Paste attributes while removing existing ones

    Hello,
    in previous versions of Final Cut Pro X you could only copy and paste all effects at once. However, when pasting, Final Cut would remove previous effects from the selected clips. That was very handy when making color correction and mood to multiple clips. I could make a correction to one clip, copy, and paste effects to a new clip, and both clips would have the same look.
    Version 10.0.6 brought the amazing "paste attributes", but when pasting it doesn't remove the old effects. "Paste effects", too, has changed its behavior.
    How can I bring the old behavior back?
    Thanks

    Fill out the feedback form.  A link is in the Final Cut Pro menu.

  • After paste attributes(transform and crop), it is strange crop...

    Hi everybody~
    I did copy from one clip and then paste attributes to same positon, scale , and crop.
    But after that, like that above image, crop is problem.
    Of course I replaced source clip again and no problem.
    But I want to know why that problem occured.
    Help me~

    What about the frame size of the project?
    I tried with two clip recorded with my MBP's iSight camera (at 640x480).
    On a 640x480 project, I could not make the problem occur. Paste atributes worked correctly.
    On an 1080p project, the problem manifested itself. It seems that pasting atributes somehow messes up the spatial conform parameter: while it still shows as "Fit", it appears as if it were set to "None", as far as I can tell.
    (Of course, such an error has not effect when the dimensions of the clip coincide with those of the project it is in).
