I have Power Director 16 and am trying to format a lot of different PIPs with the same attributes. Can I copy and Paste attributes other that key frame? Can I copy mask, position and size of PIP? Do I have to do them all individually? Thanks

In the timeline
Right-click on Pip, select Copy Keyframe attributes
selects all pip that will modify
Right-click, select Paste Keyframe attributes
Does not work for mask

another way

add Pip to the timeline
Drag an image to over to Pip
From the Select menu, Replace

Actually I am trying to copy attributes other than the key frame attributes. I want to copy mask and customized motion and placements, as well as size.

Hi leaMarie1980 -

Just as Playsound says, all of that can be done using copy/paste keyframe attributes... but NOT masks. Customised motion, placement, size? Yes. Masks? No.

Thank you, I have tried this method and it doesn't seem to be working. I have one master PIP with attributes that I want to apply to others but I think that because my PIP media are various sizes it's not configuring the same...still working on it though.
