Copy edits to multiple clips malfunction?

When I "copy edits" to multiple clips weird things happen. If the clip has been cropped or transformed the frame is restricted. Not sure if I can explain this well but here goes.


I have transformed a clip and cropped the edges

I command-option-c to copy the edits

I command-option-v to paste to 3 other clips that are a similar setting to save time

I go to the next clip to add a couple other edits or backgrounds and move the clip in the view but now the crop boundries are all screwed up and the area that I previous cropped is visable but the "crop-lines" are where I set them. If I move the clip in the viewer, left or right or up or down, it moves within a stagnant cropped field. If I drag the "crop-line" its way off the edge of the clip.


Hope that makes sense. This is something I did many times before the update with not issues. It saved a lot of time but now I have to do these edits to each clip. What happened?

Final Cut Pro X, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

Are you using FCPX? Forget the Command-Option-C for copy the "effects". You want to copy attributes. Just use Command-C, the normal copy command. To Paste Attributes, use Shift-Command-V. You'll have more control over things.


And make sure the clips you're pasting attributes to have NO effects or tranformations done to them before hand.
