Unable To Paste Adjustment Yo Other Selected Clips In Timeline
After some 50 projects, and at least 400 attempts, I’ve never had any success of pasting adjustments that were copied from the first edited clip in the timeline, to the rest of the selected clips in the timeline.
Other than viewing what iMovie is doing in the ‘Energy’ column in the Activity Monitor, iMovie itself is basically inert.
What is supposed to happen when I paste the copied adjustments from an edited clip, and pasted to any other selected clips?
How will I know that the pasted adjustments have been completed?
Also, what does it mean when the Colour Correction and Volume buttons are orange?
Is it okay to use both the Enhance and Colour Corrections the same time?

ADD VIDEO EFFECTS
Copy effects and adjustments to other clips
After you’ve made a number of adjustments to a clip, you can apply some or all of those adjustments to other clips in your movie by copying and pasting the adjustments.
For example, if you applied the Cartoon video effect and a volume adjustment to a clip, you can copy both adjustments and apply them to another clip.
Copy and paste effects and adjustments
- In the browser or the timeline, select a clip or range containing the adjustments you want to copy.
- Choose Edit > Copy.
- The clip and its effects and adjustments are copied to the clipboard.
‘How do I know that this action was successful?’
- Select the first clip or range to which you want to paste the adjustments.
- Holding down the Command key, select each additional clip to which you want to apply the adjustments.
- Choose Edit > Paste Adjustments, and choose an option from the submenu:
- All: Applies all the types of effects and adjustments listed below.
- ‘How do I know if action was successful?’
- Color Correction: Applies only video adjustments, such as exposure, brightness, and contrast.
- ‘How do I know if this action was successful?’
- Crop: Applies only cropping adjustments. This is useful if you have several clips with the same subject appearing in the same portion of the screen.
- Volume: Applies only audio adjustments, such as volume level, the “Lower the volume of other clips” setting (on or off), and fade adjustments.
- ‘How do I know if this action was successful?’
- Video Effect: Applies the copied video effect (such as Aged Film, Sepia, Cartoon, and so on).
- Audio Effect: Applies the copied audio effect (such as Large Room, Robot, Echo, and so on).
- Speed: Applies only adjustments you’ve made to the speed and playback direction of the video clip.
- Video Overlay Settings: Applies only fade and opacity adjustments to cutaway clips, split-screen clips, picture-in-picture clips, and green-screen and blue-screen clips.
