Timeline keyframes would be a special case. I can't imagine a case -- ever -- where you'd want to copy those. I would bet this is by design.
no I think it's a bug, as the keyframe panel state is copied - that makes no sense if keyframes aren't supposed to be supported. (EDIT: and of course I was able to create keyframes on the timeline grade in the first place).
here was my use case: I rendered out my 1080p stereo 3D master render using separate eyes. I create a new project to a) upscale to 1440p (so YouTube will give me their better VP9 codec by default), and to create both 2D and frame-packed 3D version from the separate eye view files.
I also use this project to master the Rec2020 source render to 709 with a custom grade. As the Side-by-side timeline has separate left and right eye clips (and nothing else), it makes sense to use a timeline grade for the mastering grade. But one shot required a saturation adjustment, which I keyframed. I wanted to copy this grade to the timeline that has the 2D render.
Sure there are other ways to skin this cat, but I'm pretty sure it's a bug and not by design. It was probably overlooked because it doesn't come up very often.
[...] But I do that by duplicating the timeline, not by copying the keyframes per se. To me, Timeline grades are one of those "project-wide" things like sizing or letterbox borders or something like that, not something I'd want to gradually change in a grade dissolve or something. I think for the same reason, you can't do a keyframe in a Pre-Clip or Post-Clip grade, since every shot is different.
Yes copying the timeilne is one option, but then I have to rebuild the frame layout for the target timeline every time I make a grade change.
I'm not saying mine is the only approach, but I think it's revealed a bug that was overlooked.
