If you have applied settings to a clip and want to use the same settings in one or more
other clips, you can easily copy the settings. For example, you might want to apply
identical color correction to a series of clips captured in the same session. Settings intrinsic
to the source clip—motion, opacity, volume—replace those in the destination clips. All
other effects (including keyframes) are added to the list of effects already applied to the
destination clips.
Note:
You can also copy and paste keyframes from one effect parameter to another
compatible effect parameter (see
“Copying and pasting keyframes” on page 249
).
To copy and paste one or more clips to the current-time indicator:
1
Select one or more clips in the sequence, and choose Edit > Copy.
2
In the Timeline window, position the sequence current-time indicator to the point you
want to paste a copy of the clip.
3
Select a target track compatible with the copied clip.
4
Do one of the following:
•
To overlay the pasted clips, choose Edit > Paste.
•
To insert the pasted clips, choose Edit > Paste Insert.
To transfer clip attributes to another clip:
1
Select a clip, and choose Edit > Copy.
2
Select one or more clips in the Timeline window.
3
Choose Edit > Paste Attributes.
Linking video and audio clips in the Timeline window
In the Project window, clips that contain both video and audio appear as a single item,
represented by . When you add the clip to the sequence, however, the video and audio
appear as two objects, each in its appropriate track (provided you specified both tracks
when performing the edit; see
“Specifying source and target tracks” on page 128
). But the
video and audio portions of the clip are linked so that when you drag the video portion in
the Timeline window, the linked audio moves with it, and vice versa. For this reason, the
audio/video pair is called a
linked clip
. In the Timeline window, each part of the linked clip
is labeled with the same clip name, which is underlined. The video is marked [V] and the
audio is marked [A]. Ordinarily, all editing functions act on both parts of a linked clip, and
both are affected when you select, trim, split, delete, move, nudge, or change the duration
or speed of either its video or audio. To affect only the video or audio, you can temporarily
override the link by pressing the Alt key when you initiate these editing tasks. After you
perform the task, however, the link is restored.
When you want to work with the audio and video individually, you can unlink them. When
you do, you can use the video and audio as though they were not linked; even the clip
names no longer appear underlined or bear the [V] and [A] labels. Even so, Adobe
Premiere Pro keeps track of the link. If you relink the clips, they indicate whether they have
been moved out of sync, and by how much. You can have Adobe Premiere Pro automati-
cally resynchronize the clips.
You can also create a link between previously unlinked clips. This is particularly useful if
you need to synchronize video and audio that were recorded separately. You can link
video only to audio—you cannot link a video clip to another video clip.
