Copying Effects from One Clip to Another

Because effects are customized a single clip at a time, it would be quite time-consuming to place the same effect across numerous clips, especially if you had to drag and drop the effect on each clip. Fortunately, Adobe Premiere Elements provides a simple way to copy effects and their settings from one clip to another.

1.	Click the first clip, Westminster Abbey.avi, in either the Sceneline or Timeline, to select it.
2.	Click the Properties button in the upper left of the My Project panel to open the Effects Properties view.
3.	Click the Old Film effect in Properties view. Note You can also right-click in Properties view and choose Copy or press Cntrl+C to copy the selected effects.
4.	Choose Edit > Copy. [View full size image]
5.	In either the Sceneline or Timeline, click to select the palace 1.avi clip (the thirteenth clip from the start of the movie), and click the Properties button on the upper left of the My Project panel to open the Properties view.
6.	Right-click in the blank gray area beneath the fixed and standard effects in Properties view, and then choose Paste. Adobe Premiere Elements applies the Old Film effect to this clip with the same properties and keyframes.
7.	Repeat this procedure and paste the effect (you shouldn’t have to copy again; just continue to paste) onto the first image in the slide show that you added to the back of the movie, which should be DSCN0417.jpg.
8.	Click the top of the My Project panel to make it active. Press the Home key to place the current-time indicator at the beginning of the project, and then press the spacebar to begin playback. When reviewing the movie, note the effects you have applied to the clips.
9.	Choose File > Save As and save your project as Lesson06_End.prel.
