Paste Attributes is unavailable for keyframes

[сергейз48634810]

What are the reasons could be for inability to copy keyframes (for example Rotation) from one layer to another?

Layer?  As in Adjustment Layer?

Use Copy > Paste attributes and choose which attributes.

[сергейз48634810]

I have found a solution. It was different name of the same effect.

[сергейз48634810]

But in some cases keyframes are still impossible to paste even if the name is the same. Paste attributes is gray. Help!

[сергейз48634810]

Nobody knows?

[сергейз48634810]

It is very important. I don't understand why sometimes I can copy keyframes, but sometimes can not?

Please post a screen shot (or two) of the Effect Controls panel and the keyframes you're trying to copy/paste from one clip to the next. There may something obvious in a screen shot that isn't from your description. For example, I imagine the effect you've keyframed has to be the same in the destination clip for the paste to work.

When I select keyframes:

If I select motion it copies all the keyframes and replace existing ones. I'd like to keep existing keyframes.

[Ann Bens]

That is correct it replaces all the keyframes.

Make presets.

[сергейз48634810]

Preset also replaces the keyframes. I'd like to keep existing keyframes.

[Ann Bens]

Then you will have to it manually.

[сергейз48634810]

It's not the answer for the question: why Premiere does not copy keyframes? Is it a bug, one of many?

[Ann Bens]

Works for me.

As you doing a lot of keyframing the project might be getting corrupt.

Make new one and import old one.

[сергейз48634810]

It works for me too. But with some footages does not. In the same project. I still can't catch the difference.

[Peru Bob]

What is different about the footage?

Are other effects applied?

[сергейз48634810]

They looks identical. The same name of the effect (Motion). The same effects applied.

I put the screenshot in this topic above.

[Jim_Simon]

Preset also replaces the keyframes.

They don't for me.  Presets only add keyframes.

[сергейз48634810]

You are wrong. Just do the preset for motion position keframes and try to drag it on another clip with existing keyframes.

[Ann Bens]

No he is correct: it adds the keyframes but sets all the other properties to the same value as in the preset.

It is the same as Paste Attributes for fixed effects.

[сергейз48634810]

Yes. When you save motion as a preset and drag it somewhere it overwrites all motion properties including existing keyframes if any.

[Jim_Simon]

It's working here for me.  Adding Motion presets only adds the new keyframes, it doesn't overwrite the current ones.

[Ann Bens]

But if you have other properties set without keyframes they will be overwriten.

For example you have a preset for position

Want to apply to a clip which has scale set to say 150, applying the preset will set scale to 100.

[Jim_Simon]

I'm just not seeing that here.  Adding a Motion preset does nothing but add it's own keyframes, as it should.

Hi сергейз,

Sorry for the frustration. Have you filed a bug yet? Here's the link.

Thanks,
