Paste Event Attributes

Alan Steel wrote on 1/5/2010, 5:39 AM

I have encountered corruption of a sequence of events on the timeline when using Paste Event Attributes which may be due to the events all being in slow motion. I am trying to apply a pan/crop which I have set up in one event to the rest of the events in the sequence and Paste Event Attributes seemed to be the way forward. However, this affected some of the events so that the content had been shifted within the event. I can only think it's something to do with all the events being in slow motion and of varying lengths. Has anyone else discovered this and, more importantly, found the cause and a solution?

So one of the things you have to watch out for with "paste event attributes" is that it will paste:

1. All FX you have added
2. All pan/crop
3. All masks you created in pan/crop
4. All playback characteristics.

So when you copy the attributes for the pan/crop, you also copy the playback rate, which shifts the frame you were looking at.

You can however copy keyframes from one event to the next. If you have more than one, highlight them all, copy, open the pan/crop for the next event and paste.

Or if its just one crop you are doing (not multiple keyframes for panning around the frame or zooming in/out) you could just save it as a preset and use it on all your other events.
