Cutting, copying, and pasting objects


    The Cut command removes an object that can then be pasted elsewhere. The Delete command removes the object permanently. You can also use the Copy and Paste commands to copy and paste objects between Adobe applications. For more information, see Copying and pasting images and other selections.

    Note: If no objects are selected, the entire composition is copied.

To cut or copy and paste an object:

  1. Select the object you want to cut or copy. Shift-click to select additional objects.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Choose Edit > Cut.
    • Choose Edit > Copy.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • To paste a cut or copied object in the same composition or into another LiveMotion composition, choose Edit > Paste.
    • To paste a bitmap image of a cut or copied object into another Adobe application, open the destination document. Then choose Edit > Paste.

    For more information on exporting objects into other applications, see About exporting.
