1. A method for applying attributes to a digital media asset, said method comprising:
- receiving a first user request to copy a determined set of attributes associated with a first digital media asset;
copying the determined set of attributes from the first digital media asset to memory storage in response to the received first user request;
receiving a second user request to apply at least one of the attributes within the determined set of attributes to a second digital media asset; and
applying the at least one of the attributes within the determined set of attributes stored in the memory storage to the second digital media asset in response to the received second user request.

17-1. A method for applying attributes to a media segment, said method comprising:
-
displaying a lift tool for lifting attributes from digital media segments; determining a set of attributes to be lifted; receiving a selection of a source media segment; lifting attributes from the selected source media segment in accordance with the determined set of attributes that are enabled; subsequently displaying a stamp tool; receiving a selection of a destination media segment; and applying the lifted attributes to the destination media segment.
-
-
18-2. A method as recited in claim 17,
wherein the stamp tool displays a list of the lifted attributes. wherein the stamp tool permits any of the lifted attributes to be disabled, and wherein said applying applies those of the lifted attributes that are enabled to the destination media segment.
