# Pasting Selected Frame Properties in the Timeline

From the Timeline window, you can paste selected frame properties across elements and pegs. This can help speed the production of effects that repeat values.

To paste selected frame properties in the Timeline window:

1. Select the frames you want to copy. If the Single Cell Selection preference is not selected, press the [Option] button as you select the frames.

2. Select Edit > Copy to copy the frames.

3. Advance the red frame slider to the frame where you want to paste the frames. Do not release the selected elements. If you accidentally de-select the elements, re-select them.

4. Select Edit > Paste Special. The Timeline Paste Special Preferences dialog box opens.

5. Select the properties you want to paste and click OK.
