Copying a value from a layer without keyframes


    You can copy the current value of a layer property to another layer, even when the original layer contains no keyframes. This can save you the time of having to set up a property the same way on various layers.

To copy a value from a layer without keyframes:

  1. In the Timeline window, display the layer property containing the value you want to copy.
  2. Click the I-beam icon for the layer property to select it.
  3. The I-beam for the layer property
  4. Choose Edit > Copy.
  5. Select the layer into which you want to paste the value.
  6. If the target layer contains keyframes, move the current-time marker to the time where you want to paste the value. If the target layer does not contain keyframes, the new value applies to the entire duration of the layer.
  7. Choose Edit > Paste.
