VIDEO PAINT: CHAPTER ONE 259
Performing Cut and Copy operations
When working on your project, you will often want to copy changes you
have made in one frame to others in the video sequence. To do this, you
use the Cut and Copy buttons on the Standard toolbar or the Edit: Cut
and Copy commands. Copy duplicates a selected area or floating selection
while Cut removes it from the image. Once cut or copied, you can paste it
into the current frame or into another. When there is no selection area or
floating selection, Cut and Copy works over the entire image (in Compos-
ite mode), or only edits (in Paint Layer mode.) If there are no edits, then
the commands work over the entire image.
Note: You can paste image data to and from Video Paint to any other image editor
such as Ulead PhotoImpact. If pasting to PhotoImpact, any mask information is
retained.
Performing a paste operation
Once the Clipboard contains an image, either from Video Paint or any
other image editor, you can paste it into an edit window. To do this, click
the Paste button on the Standard toolbar or Edit: Paste
[
CTRL

. Images
are pasted at the same location they were cut or copied from. If the pasted
image was from a frame or other image larger than the active frame, then
the image is pasted at the top left corner of the current view.
Another option for pasting is the Edit: Paste - Selection Under Pointer
command. This pastes the image with the center of the image anchored to
your mouse pointer. Clicking anywhere within the edit window anchors the
image on that particular spot. The advantage of this command is that you
can position the pasted image without having to keep your finger on the
mouse button, providing greater freedom of movement.
Pasting masks
When you paste an image, it contains a selection area (mask) plus the
contents of the area itself (the image data). In Video Paint, you can choose
to paste only the mask without any image data by clicking Edit: Paste: As
Mask or Mask Under Pointer. After pasting, all you will see is the
