Copying, Pasting, Moving, and Duplicating Filters
Because filters modify image layers (still images, video clips, shapes, and so on), an applied
filter is attached to its target layer (or folder), nested underneath it in the Layer’s list. You
can copy, paste, and move filters like any other object in Motion, but a filter must be
applied to an image layer or folder containing image layers. When you cut or copy a filter
in the Layers list or Timeline, the copy preserves the current state of the filter’s parameters.
To copy a filter
Do one of the following:
µ
Select the filter in the Layers list, Timeline, or Inspector, then choose Edit > Copy (or press
Command-C).
µ
In the Layers list or Timeline, Control-click the filter, then choose Copy from the shortcut
menu.
To paste a filter
Do one of the following:
µ
Select the image layer or folder to apply the filter to, then choose Edit > Paste (or press
Command-V).
