# Timeline tools

The Timeline tools in **Style & Tools** work on caption clips selected in Premiere. Check the selection before applying changes.

## Attributes

**Copy from selected** copies supported effects and transforms from a selected caption. **Paste to selected** applies them to the caption clips you select next.

Use this to carry a manual adjustment from one caption to others. Review the result when a selected effect is unavailable on the destination clip.

## Styles

**Sync from selected** carries the selected caption's look to the rest of its caption group.

**Select first in groups** selects the first clip of each caption group on the track. This helps when you want to act on one clip per caption.

## Playhead sync

Caption groups can synchronize their wording across clips as the playhead moves.

**Disconnect selected** marks selected clips with a [manual] prefix and takes them out of automatic sync. **Reconnect selected** removes the marker and returns them to the group.

The marker changes the timeline clip name, not the visible caption. Keep a project copy before extensive manual timeline changes.
