Media FX -copy and paste to multiple clips at DVinfo.net

Chris Nicholson · March 29th, 2011, 01:03 PM

I'm wondering how to copy and paste a media fx to all clips in the project media window. I can do this easily with video fx at the event level, but I don't see anything like copy and "paste attributes" with media fx.

I need to do this in the project media view because its the timecode fx which only works properly if added to project media prior to adding to the timeline.

I usually use the detail view but have tried all three views to see if their is a method which is only available in one of the views.

If it's only the timecode FX that you want, run the "Add timecode to all media" script.
"Remove timecode from all media" takes it away when you're done with it.

Reading this post it comes a question:
i have the ending credits of my doc _(about 15 clips with text) now i have decided to changr the font of these 15 clips.
If i go selects event to end then paste attributes it will apply the first test with the new font to all the 15 clips, PROBLEM: the other 14 clips are different cause in every clip there are lists of different people to thank.
So my question is if i have to paste Just the font and the position of the text, what should i do?
Hope my english was clear this time

Many thanks

Sorry Marcus but you have to change the fonts in each clip individually :(

:( Thank you Mike
They should improve this thing, right?

They most certainly should.
We've been asking for the ability to copy/paste only certain attributes for what seems to be forever with no satisfaction yet :(
