It is possible to duplicate a dynamic element, to keep the same text, the same animation, and the same formatting. In addition to saving you time, it will allow you to have consistency in all your video and thus have a more professional look.

Here are some useful keyboard shortcuts to navigate in the dynamic elements editor:
- copy and paste a Dynamic Element inside the same project (across the same screen or different ones) by clicking on CTRL + C and CTRL + V (replace CTRL by CMD on a Mac)
- navigate inside the timeline with the arrow keys (left and right) on your keyboard.
