Copy and paste keyframes in Final Cut Pro
You can copy and paste individual keyframes from one parameter to another. This allows
you to move or duplicate a specific effect (or part of an effect) from one clip to another.
For example, you can copy and paste an animated color correction effect or an audio filter
adjustment.
You can also move or copy keyframes from one parameter to another within the same clip.
For example, you can copy the center point keyframes from a kaleidoscope effect and
paste them in the center point of a radial blur effect so that both effects follow identical
paths.
You can even copy and paste keyframes within a single parameter, allowing you to create
a repeating pattern, or to move an animation from the beginning of a clip to a point later in
time.
Keyframes can be copied from any parameter, including parameters in clip effects (such
as opacity, position, and audio volume), parameters in effects applied from the Effects
browser (such as Gaussian Blur or Channel EQ), and even published parameters for a title.
Any keyframes you can select can be cut, copied, and pasted.
