DR 18.5, Installed yday on Mac and Win PC both.
New to Video editing.
On both (Mac & PC), option for Paste Attributes, Paste Value etc are disabled. On right client Paste option not visible.

You only get this feature on the Edit page, not Cut.

I am trying to copy and paste attributes. Basically want to paste clip speed of 10x on all clips.

Works fine for me on the Edit page. Does not work on the Cut page as Jim mentioned.

Just used Paste Attributes an hour ago in 18.5.1. Worked absolutely fine on the Edit page. I always have to be very careful to turn off the attributes I don't want to overwrite, but that's the only caveat.

still after reboot, tried with various clips, unable to get Paste Attrib option enabled.
And same thing happening on Mac and Win both. Does it require paid version or works on free too?

Check screenshot, am i selecting something wrong?

You can't paste attributes on the Cut page. That's it. Move over to the Edit page to perform a paste attributes.

You have been told the issue and solution multiple times now, you are just wasting everyone's time.

I think the problem is that Paste Attributes is not supported on the Cut Page...

Alternatively, let's be aware as well that he has an issue with a Studio only function ...

I was deliberately avoiding that particular elephant

__/\__ understood. works fine.

I occasionally run into this in the edit page where Ctrl-V just doesn't work. I get a bell sound but the options dialog doesn't show up.

I've yet to figure out under what conditions this happens.

Do you have focus indicators turned on? If not I suggest turning them on and then, next time the key doesn’t work, look and see if the focus is in the panel you think. My guess is that it’s not. But I could be wrong!

That's what I thought the last time this happened but, no. Even with focus very carefully set on the timeline, it failed. I had to use the edit menu and after that, ctrl-v worked ok.

Still sounds like a command routing issue to me - though apparently not from the focus simply being in the wrong panel.

Sounds like the modal might be appearing behind the main interface.

Some users report that with various modal windows.

That could be. Though if that were happening then the whole UI would be frozen and the OP wouldn’t be able to continue working.
