Copying soft effects between segments on the same timeline can speed up your work since you do not have to recreate the soft effect for each segment. You can copy a soft effect from a video segment or from a gap.

To copy a soft effect between timeline segments:

1. Resize the video track containing the soft effect you want to copy.
2. Do one of the following:
   • Press Ctrl and drag the soft effect indicator to any other element, or to a selection of elements, on the timeline.
   • Select a timeline element, press Ctrl+# to select a particular soft effect and then Ctrl-drag it to any other element, or to a selection of elements, on the timeline. (For example, press Ctrl+5 to select the Timewarp soft effect)
   NoteSoft effect indicators turn yellow when selected.
   TipYou can press Ctrl+# and drag directly to another element without expanding the segment.
