Steps to Copy and Paste Clip Effects

Here's how to copy and paste clip effects, as detailed in the reference provided:

Select the Source Clip:
- Begin by selecting the clip that contains the effects you wish to copy. This is the clip with the attributes you want to use.
Copy the Effects:
- Press Command + C (on macOS) or Control + C (on Windows) on your keyboard. This action copies the effects applied to the selected clip.
Select the Target Clip:
- Next, select the clip to which you want to paste the copied effects. This is the clip you wish to apply the effects to.
Paste the Effects:
- Right-click on the selected target clip.
- From the context menu, choose the option to "paste attributes".
Choose Effects (Optional):
- A menu will appear, displaying the available effects and settings you have copied from the source clip.
- You can choose which specific effects you want to apply to the target clip.

If you have applied a color grade and a slight blur effect to a clip and want to use the same effects on another clip, you would first select the clip with those effects, copy the effects using Command/Control + C, and then select the second clip. Right-clicking the second clip and choosing ‘paste attributes’ will apply the same effects.

The specific menu option to paste the attributes might vary slightly depending on the editing software you are using, but generally, it will be something like "Paste Attributes" or a similar phrase.
