Combining Elements in Seperate Projects

whillyd wrote on 3/26/2004, 8:52 AM

I'm trying to take elements from one project file (.vf) and paste them into a seperate project. I thought it would be nice to just copy, switch project then paste it in, but that doesn't seem to work. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you

Look at string lower down from Antlers - it has worked very well for me. Hover mouse over top edge of video string to find "opacity".

If you're using MS rather than VF you can copy and paste between different instances of MS i.e. open open MS twice and open a different project in each.

I was about to ask the same question concerning copying material to the clipboard and pasting it into another project opened in a second copy of MS. This works fine for video, except if I try to copy titling, I lose all the original attributes of the first instance. Is this the way it should work or am I going abut it all wrong? For example I had created some titling with FX light rays that I did not want to take the time to re-create hoping to copy them to the 2nd instance of MS. Any ideas? Thanks

I'm the VF guy!
Can you not save the FX to a custom named effect so that you can call it up to any project?
I created a simple standard titling format and use it over and over again.

That's sounds perfectly logical--talking abount not seeing the trees for the forest. Can't wait to try it. Thanks
