Copy FXs with keyframes from one clip to another?

PostSat Jul 21, 2018 12:34 am

I'm sure this is probably super easy to do but I can't figure it out. I have a clip which has a few different keyframes on it - opacity goes down, it gets blurry (using gaussian blur as an openFX), it zooms in, etc. Now I want to copy all those parameters/effects to a bunch of other clips in the exact same way that they are in the first clip. How can I do that?

haha. very funny. but this is the very reason why i gave up on resolve and went back to premiere. i'm sorry to say this but resolve ain't ready for the pro's just yet when it comes to editing.

It is indeed easy.
Please refer to the excellent Resolve 15 manual, page 2056 and 2078.
The keywords you are looking for are "Apply Grades Using".

In short : a right-click in the "Gallery" panel will let you enable pasting of keyframes along with your grade.

I'm sorry, Ivan, I absolutely was not laughing at you... I was laughing at myself not being able to figure out something that seems that it should be so simple.

Antoine, I was wondering if copying FX from clip-to-clip can be done in the Edit workspace.


Thanks, guys!

Well OpenFX belong to the Color page, so what you want to do isn’t possible right now.
Except... if you do everything in the Color page : OpenFX, opacity, position, zoom, they can all be tweaked, key framed and copy/pasted in the Color page.

In the new versions it is possible to use Open FX in the edit page and you can copy and paste open effects with the paste attributes command. I don't think keyframes will copy at this time though.

Just know that FX in the edit page are different and are process separately then FX in the color page.

Thank you, Nathan! Very helpful.

Interesting, your last sentence.

Best!
