Working on a clip may only take a few seconds to create a simple transformation or it could be hours building a complex special effect. Apply the same changes to other clips using the copy and paste effects shortcut instead of repeating the steps over and over again. Copy the clip using Command-C (or Option-Command-C for convenience), select the other clip(s), and use Option-Command-V to apply the effects. This applies the attributes without any dialogue box. To see a list of attributes, use the Paste Attributes command (Shift-Command-V).
