"Paste & Replace" shortcut to replace effects in Effect Controls window

[Pierre Louis B.]

When copy/pasting a Lumetri effect (or crop effect, etc) to one or more clips that already have that same effect applied, I often want to replace the existing effect in the clip(s) rather than add a second copy of it.

Giving users a new "Paste & Replace" shortcut such as Ctrl+Shift+V so that they can decide on-the-fly if they want to add an effect or replace any existing copies of that same effect would be extremely handy!

If the "Paste & Replace" shortcut is used on a clip that doesn't already have a copy of the effect being pasted, it would simply work as a regular paste (Ctrl+V). If a clip already contains several instances of an effect, then using "Paste & Replace" would remove all previous instances. If the user wants to always replace existing effects by default, they could simply change the "Paste & Replace" shortcut from Ctrl+Shift+V to Ctrl+V. This would put full control in the hands of the users!

Please consider adding this simple little shortcut that would be a big time saver!

I would love this. It would be much faster than Remove Attributes>Selecting Lumetri>Remove, then pasting the effect again.

Oh all sorts of YES on this ... I've been asking for this for years now!

A thousand times this, it would really speed up even basic colour grading.

Maybe I'm two years late, but there's a plugin that can do this for you. Literally called paste to replace in the Adobe Exchange. It uses another shortcut than Ctrl Shift V but I changed this setting in Illustrator's shortcut keys settings panel.

This is the Premiere Pro forum. A plugin that did this for PPro would be very welcome!

@AndyAndyAndyCompletely overlooked that, I came here via via. Don't know if this is for PPro as well as I don't use PPro intensively, apologies!
