Copy and Paste Instances?

[user_deleted]

Does anyone know how to copy and paste instanced operators and retain their link? When I try this, the link seems to be broken.

Thanks,

Laurence

Copy/paste always creates new operators. If you want to retain the link, you have to use the New Layer from Operator command again to make your copy.

Right, but when I do create a layer from an operator, I don't seem to be able to apply that instanced operator to another layer. For example, I want to add a colour corrector to my background layer and apply an instance of it to another layer (with different footage) so that I only have to adjust one operator.

Instancing basically makes a branch of the same footage or operator, it does not allow "linking" of one operator to two different clips. You'll have to copy/paste the color corrector onto both layers in this case.
