How to copy/paste clip attributes?

How can I easily copy/paste settings I made for one clip to other clips? For example I made a moving PIP with border and schadow and want the same setting for other clips on the timeline. When I choose "Copy/Paste Keyframe" attributes it copies and pastes the PIP with animation only, border and shadow settings are not copied. Recware: DJI Osmo Pocket, GoproHero7Black, PanasonicFZ300/HCX909, Sony PXW-X160.

Playware: Samsung Qled QE65Q6FN, Philips 55PFL7108

As far as I know PD doesn't do this.
One option, after doing the first, save the pip to the library. (works for photos)
Add this pip to the timeline, drag the new photo onto the pip and select Replace XEON-E5-2680 v4 / Mem. 16GB DDR4
M.2 NVME 512Gb / 2-SSD Sata3 1TB
AMD RX570 / Display Philips 272V8

Thanks for the replying. I was also already thinking about saving the animation to the library (with a picture) and after positioning on the timeline replace it with a video. Disadvantage is that when trimming this video it will lose the animation.
I hoped there was an easy way to copy/paste all attributes from one clip to another. Nevertheless it is possible with this workaround and I could also pre-cut the video before replacing the animation on the timeline. Recware: DJI Osmo Pocket, GoproHero7Black, PanasonicFZ300/HCX909, Sony PXW-X160.

Using pre-cuts for sections of long source clips are a good way to use the Replace method. If all the clips are the same duration you won't have any trouble matching up things like motion keyframes, but when the durations are different you'll have to manually make the appropriate adjustments.

I've found that some effects are anchored to the start of the clip and play out at a fixed pace, while others get automatically sped up to fit the new duration. Still other effects seem to be anchored to the end of the clip which can throw off the timing in unexpected ways when applied to a clip of a different length.

Basically how much work you save will depend on the specific edits you've made. Sometimes, Replace works great for most items and you might only need to reset one set of keyframes, while other times it might quicker to start over than to try and recalibrate all the disjointed attributes.
