Rotoscope - copying from one project to another project

Hello ,
New to this but enjoying every moment.

I have project 1A where I have used rotoscope to edit video
I have project 2A where I have also used rotoscope.

IS it possible to copy the rotoscope from project 1A to project 2A?
Or can you export the rotoscope from project 1A and then import it to project 2A?

You can share clips across projects with Power Bins.

I've never tested if the effects will come with.

You can if they're in the same Project Database. Right-click in the Project Manager and choose "Dynamic Project Switching." Open the first project, then right-click in the Gallery window grey background and choose "Apply Grades Using Keyframes Aligning Start Frame." Copy the grade. Now open the second project while keeping the first one open. Find that clip, and paste the rotoscope correction. In theory, it can work. Generally, the tracking is not identical between shots, but if it's a similar shape, you can always make changes and re-track.

You could also do this with the Gallery Window: expand that, and you can drag stills from one project to another. But you have to make sure you have a current still of that particular shot with that particular grade on it.

Any reason Copy/Paste shouldn’t work for this? I’m not surprised it doesn’t right now - but wouldn’t this be the most discoverable way to do it?

How, exactly, are you rotoscoping? You haven't described your process or which tools you are using.

The o.p. said "copying from one project to another project," and I don't think the copy/paste memory survives in a different database. In the same database, yes, you can copy just one node from one project and paste that node into another project. But as @Peter Cave says above, the question is how they're doing the rotoscoping. Fusion? Power Windows? Some other method?

This will indeed define what must be done next. In case of Fusion's choice, exporting the shape and track may be the most handy...
If the OP actually writes about the magic mask, I didn't try to use the selection elsewhere so far.

Seems like it’d be a good “cleanup project” to extend the copy/paste buffer so it works between databases and implement it wherever people discover it’s not working.

Added it as a feature request:
Flesh out Copy/Paste so it works “everywhere”
