Effect cut and paste order

 

  • Issue: Cutting and pasting multiple video effects no longer pastes them in the order they were copied.
  • Steps to Reproduce: Select multiple video effects from one clip and paste them on another.
  • Expected Result: I expect the pasted effects to be in the order they were in when copied.
  • Actual Result: In the newest version they are in an unexpected order.
  • Premiere Version: 26.5.2 build 5
  • Operating System: MacOS 27.0.1
  • Chip (Mac Only): M1 Max
  • Project Size: Any size.

I often use two instances of the Lumetri effect and the order in which they are applied matters, so copying them from one clip in a certain order, and then having them pasted in a different order is annoying. This was never an issue until I recently updated.

I’ve always been very careful about this sort of thing in Ae, where the order you grab layers determines how they’ll be pasted, but that also doesn’t seem to be the case here.

    Hello ​@David23633973yjr1,

    We are tracking a few of these issues and are digging into this. Out of curiosity, if you select them in reverse order, then copy, does it maintain the correct positioning? Are you using the Properties Panel or the ECP? If your bug is similar to this one, we may merge this post to make it easier to collate information and notify everyone. 

     

    Hoping to help,

    Amy

    My issue is similar, although it doesn’t appear that it pastes them in the opposite order I grab them in. I am cut/pasting from the ECP.
