HELP LOOKING FOR A KEY STROKE

I am looking for a key stroke that allows me to replace from start edit but keep the attributes of the clip that I am replacing.

In the series that I am editing there is a recipe section showing how to cook fish (its a fishing show). At the end of the segment, we show a photo of the final dish with an animated background and a lower third title showing the recipe title and website. I currently just copy the attributes - replace the photo - then paste the attributes. I was wondering if there was a shortcut to this process.

Thanks for the help!

There currently is no single function to replace a clip while keeping the clips attributes. (Color, transform, crop, effects, etc.)

It's a 3 step procedure right now.

1. click on the clip you want to replace and <command-C> to copy the clip and attributes.
2. Replace the clip from the browser with a replace edit (From Start, From End, or Replace Clip)
3. click on the new clip and <Cntrl-Command-V> to paste attributes.
a. pick the attributes you wish to pass along to the new clip.

Thats what I have been doing... I thought I would toss the idea out there and see if there was a way... Thanks for the reply!

What specific attributes do you want to keep? If it is only effects and color grading, try applying filters with an Adjustment Layer.
