How to Copy Keyframes From Video Clip To Still In Premiere Pro CC 2022

Hi,

I am trying to copy the opacity keyframes from a video clip to a parallel still image clip in Premiere Pro CC 2022. 

I've tried copying the video clip (by selecting the clip in the timeline and using Ctrl+C and then right clicking on the image clip in the timeline, selecting Paste Attributes>Opacity, but nothing gets pasted into the still image clip. 

Is there a way to copy/paste the keyframes from a video to a still image?

Thanks very much

You cannot select just one property and paste as attribute. From Motion it's all or nothing.

Select the opacity keyframes in the ECP,

Copy (CTRL + C),

Highlight the word Opacity in the ECP of that still,

Paste (CTRL + V).

What is ECP?

Effect Controls Panel.

Another option is to nest the video and still and then keyframe the opacity of the nest.

Thanks.  Is there a practical reason why the keyframes can be copied into another video clip, but not a still clip?  It seems that with a powerful program like PP, it would improve workflow.

I can, however, select each keyframe, one at a time, in a very clunky fashion, in the timeline and then paste into the other track.  It sure seems that there ought to be a better way of doing this quickly in a program as powerful as PP.

You can copy from clip to still and v.v. as described above.
