I'm talking about settings like: fill, stroke, background and shadow. If you just copy the "source text" section and paste it into another text fragment, then this will not work((

If it were me, I would alt-select-drag to get a copy of the original, then just edit that. Premiere currently doesn't have a "copy style" feature for whatever reason. In fact I can't figure out at all what the purpose of being able to right-click the "text" item in the effects controls area as there is nowhere to paste it... Anyways, copying the whole object and editing the text in there is the easiest approach I think. One day Premiere will be all grown up and have normal copy/paste functionality for styles and not just effects.

This would be a great solution and Adobe developers should pay attention to this flexible feature.

Well for that there is no copy/paste.

But you can creat a Style with Essential Graphics and then apply it to other text fields.

- Select the text you want to create the style from.

- Go to Window --> Essential Graphics Edit

- Select the text element.

- Click on the menu on Style field and choose --> Creat Style...

And apply that style to other text elements on the timeline.

For faster selection of other text elements on the timeline you can show the Text window --> Window --> Text --> Graphics.

And with this you can see all your text elements on the timeline listed there and you can make the process quicker.

You Style appears in your Project-Window as an Object.
You can highlight all your clips in your timeline and just drag the object on them.

Tada... you got the new style on all your textgraphics
