Copying and pasting keyframes in the Timeline panel

To quickly apply the same keyframe values at another point in time or in another clip or track, copy and paste the
keyframes. When you paste, the earliest keyframe appears at the current time and the other keyframes follow in
relative order. The keyframes remain selected after pasting, so you can fine-tune their location in the Timeline panel.
You can paste keyframes only to a clip or track that displays the same property as the copied keyframes. Also, Adobe
Premiere Pro can paste keyframes at the current-time indicator on only one clip or track at a time. Because the
current-time indicator can span multiple video and audio tracks, Adobe Premiere Pro uses criteria in the following
order to determine where to paste the keyframes:
•
If the current-time indicator is positioned within a selected clip, keyframes are pasted in that clip.
•
If audio keyframes are cut or copied, Adobe Premiere Pro pastes in the first track where it finds a corresponding
effect property, looking first at a sequence's audio tracks, then its submix tracks, and then the master track.
•
If none of the above conditions produces a target video or audio track that matches both the effects property and
the scope (clip or track) of the cut or copied keyframes, the Paste command is unavailable. For example, if you
copy audio track keyframes but the targeted audio track displays clip keyframes, the keyframes can't be pasted.

•
Select the clip where you want to paste the keyframes.
•
Target the video or audio track where you want the copied keyframes to appear.
Make sure that the clip or track displays the same property as the keyframes you copied; otherwise, the Paste

must apply the same effect that was applied to the clip or track from which the keyframes were copied.
