Pasting Point Positions

You can paste any position you’ve copied/cut from another point to a selected point in a stroke/shape. If you have autokey turned on, this also sets a keyframe at the current frame to animate this point. The attributes of the strokes or any keys set to animate the attributes are not affected.

To Paste Point Values

1.   In the Viewer, scrub to the frame that contains the stroke/shape to which you want to paste the positions on the clipboard.
2.   Activate the Select Points tool .
3.   Make sure hide points is disabled in the tool settings.
4.   Right-click on the point and select paste > point (values).

Nuke pastes the positions (but not any attributes) on the clipboard to the selected point and, if you have autokey turned on, sets the current frame as a keyframe.

NOTE:  If you have copied more than one point into the clipboard but have only selected one point to paste into, paste > point (values) only displays one point and may not look as you expect. To paste both points, ensure that you have two point selected (or however many is needed for your sample).
