That's a good question, and normally the easiest way to copy edits to another clip is to right-click and choose Copy Keyframe Attributes, which you can then apply to any other clip.

The problem is that masks and chroma-keying are explicitly excluded from this feature, so you'll want to use Plan B (which is still pretty easy )

All you need to do is make a copy of the "master" clip and paste it on the timeline. Now drag the next clip from the media library on top of the new clip (making sure that the leading edge is somewhere to the right of the left edge of timeline clip), and when you release the mouse button, choose Replace.

PD will then replace the original with the new clip with all existing edits in place. Please note that if the new clip is longer than the copied "original" it will be trimmed to match the same length, so you'll just need to drag the right (trailing) edge all the way to the right to extend the new clip to its full length.

Thank you so much. This is a good work around since as you mentioned it loses the mask and chroma key settings whereas this copies them over.

So grateful. THANK YOU!

Hi Opto
I had the same problem. I was on the right lines but your post cleared it up for me. I had already edited a clip in the timeline and then tried to drag and drop it on to the copied clip but replace was not an option. It would be nice to have that option. Reading your post I then dragged the unedited clip from the media box and edited it once again. Unfortunately this meant the keyframes no longer worked and I had to copy them again. It would also be nice if attributes stayed in place for an identical length edited clip. I got there in the end but the missing link for me was your suggestion to drag the unedited clip from the media box. Thanks/
