Copy and Paste Attributes does not seem to be working with FCPX 10.0.8 update

Any luck on this? I am having same thing and am interested if anyone found anything. Paste effects works fine, but Paste attributues does nothing - no window, no error, no pasting of anything. Paste effects does bring over all effects.

Hey guys, I think I solved this. I have the same problem. Im running FCPX 10.0.9, latest version of Lion, and I ran into this problem. The issue stems with what file you are trying to copy FROM. The root cause seems to be related to a bug in the code related to the audio PAN attributes. If the file you are trying to copy from has a PAN mode set to anything other than "NONE", then you will NOT be able to copy/past attributes from the source file with the custom PAN mode to a destination file whose attributes you want to modify.

To solve, I simply reset my source file's PAN attribute to flat, and i removed any added "denoisers" (which sidenote I don't think helped, because prior to the problem, I have been copying/pasting denoisers for some time).

Enjoy!

EDIT: I just retried it without removing denoiser. All you have to do is set the PAN mode to "none", and the problem is fixed. CHEERS!

p.s. 13 years in Information Technology Support sometimes comes in handy. 😉

Wow, eversic, you are a lifesaver. That worked for me first try! I had dialog panning set.

What a weird bug, I'm going to submit it right now.

Thanks again!

I know I'm a bit late to the game... but I recently found an issue copy/pasting attributes in FCP X 10.1.1 and thought I should share it as eversic's method seemed to work... but in a different way.

I was trying to copy and paste attributes but the dialogue wouldnt' come up when I did the paste attributes command.

I traced it to enabling Background Noise Removal in Audio enhancements on the copied clip. When I toggled that off, then copied the clip, the Paste Attributes dialogue appeared as expected. So if you want to copy and paste any of the Audio Enhancements, you'll have to do it differently.

Good news is, you can select multiple clips and it will affect them in aggregate if you like.

Cheers!
