To copy multiple effects between clips in Premiere Pro, open the source clip's Effect Controls panel, select the effects you want, press Ctrl+C (Cmd+C on Mac), then select your target clips and press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V). Every selected effect copies across at once — no rebuilding your look clip by clip.
When this saves you time
This is a lifesaver on montages, interviews, or any sequence where consistency matters. Set your look once — Lumetri Color, noise, film grain, FilmConvert, whatever you've stacked — and paste it onto as many clips as you like in seconds.
How to copy and paste effects
Open Effect Controls
Go to Window > Effect Controls so you can see every effect on the selected clip.
Select and copy the effects
Click your source clip, select the effects you want in Effect Controls (skip things like Time Remapping you don't want to duplicate), then press Ctrl+C or Cmd+C.
Select the target clips
Shift-click each clip you want the look on. A white border confirms they're selected.
Paste
Press Ctrl+V or Cmd+V. The effects appear instantly on every selected clip.
Copy only some attributes
Need finer control? Instead of copy and paste, copy the source clip, then right-click a target and choose Paste Attributes. A dialog lets you tick exactly which effects, motion, opacity, or audio settings to bring over — perfect when you want the grade but not the scale or position.
Pro tip: to review what's on a clip, select it and the Effect Controls panel jumps straight to its active effects for quick tweaks.
