Copying and Pasting a Clip’s Filters

When you copy a clip from the Timeline, you also copy all of that clip’s settings,
including filters applied to that clip. Instead of pasting duplicates of the clip you’ve
copied, you can paste only that clip’s filters into other clips by using the Paste
Attributes command in the Edit menu.

Move the selected filter up or down
in the list to change the order in
which it is applied to the clip.

Warning:

Pasting attributes into clips that have different frame rates from the copied

clip produces erratic results.
