Final Cut Pro Quick Tip #61 Copy and Paste Attributes

By Stephen Schleicher

The joy of multiclip editing in Final Cut Pro can quickly leave a sour taste in your mouth when it comes to color correcting one particular angle after you have performed a basic edit. On the one hand, you could drag and drop the color corrector effect over and over (and over) again until your mind is completely numb, or you can paste the filter across all of the clips in the timeline in mere moments.

If you have not read up on how to perform a multiclip edit in Final Cut Pro, you can read that Quick Tip here (http://www.creativemac.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=32609). Although this technique works with a multiclip edit, it isn’t exclusive to that particular type of edit. It can be used in any project.

One other thing to note; if you are using this technique on a multiclip sequence, you do not need to collapse the multiclip first. This is great because it allows you to go back and make changes to the edit points or angle as you progress.
