Copying Effects
As you read in Chapter 15, Motion, clicking on the Copy button at the
bottom of the Slide Options window allows you to easily copy layers,
captions and settings between slides and keyfames. For this chapter, let's
focus on the options that really help with keyframing.

• Copy Settings: this selection opens a sub-menu of Copy Settings
options. The options you'll use most often when creating
advanced keyframing effects are the Between Layer Keyframes
and Between Caption Keyframes options.
When you select these options, you open the Copy Settings
window. From here you can copy individual keyframe settings to
any other destination in your show. It’s a very powerful tool for
copying and can be read about in more detail in Chapter 26.

• Copy to Previous Keyframe: Copies the settings used in the
current keyframe to the previous keyframe in you slide. The All
Layers option will perform this operation for every layer on the
slide.

• Copy to Next Keyframe: the opposite of the above. Copies the
settings used in the current keyframe to the next position in your
slide. As above, the All Layers option will do the same operation
for every layer on the slide.
• Copy First Keyframe to Previous Slide: this option will copy the
layer and that layer’s starting position to the previous slide in your
show. As above, the All Layers option does the same operation
but includes every layer on the slide in it.

• Copy Last Keyframe to Next Slide: this option will copy the layer
and that layer’s ending position to the next slide in your show.
ProShow will create a new slide with the layer if you don’t already
have one to copy to. As above, the All Layers option does the
same operation but includes every layer on the slide in it.
