Just like you can copy video clips, you can also copy specific keyframes inside video clips. You can copy a selection of one or several keyframes and paste it at a different time on the same clip or on a different clip. When copying and pasting a single keyframe, the position, angle and size of the clip, is copied. When copying and pasting several keyframes, the position, angle and size of the clip in each keyframe as well as the animation between those keyframes is copied.
