Copy All Filters From One Clip Back or To The Next Clip

As a preface to today’s shortcut (and to make remembering the keys easier), you might want to review yesterday’s shortcut article which discussed copying Color Corrector filters from a previous clip or to a subsequent clip. Today’s shortcut is very similar but instead of just copying Color Corrector settings, you will be copying all the filters applied.

To copy the filters applied to the clip (on the same track) that immediately precedes your selected clip to your selected clip, just hit CTRL OPT 3

To copy the filters applied to your currently selected clip to the next clip forward on the same track, hit CTRL OPT 4

As with the color Corrector shortcuts, you can also reach back two clips or copy forward two clips (again, on the same track) with the CTRL OPT 2 and CTRL OPT 5 commands respectively:

Again, you can recall these “2 back” and “2 forward” commands by visualizing the fact that the numbers, 2 and 5, are one lower and one higher than the 3 and 4 used for the “1 back” and “2 forward” commands above.

Also, if these shortcuts seem a little ungainly (and they surely are), you can remember that the Color Corrector version uses only the CTRL modifier and these add the OPT modifier. I personally find the Color Corrector ones more useful and use them more often, but it’s nice to know I have the option of copying all filters.
