Cannot use the size/position on multiple selected objects on timeline

I have used Movie Edit Pro 2016 Plus for many years and one feature that I found extremely helpful was when I used the size/position tool to help move multiple objects that I have selected all at once. So I can reduce or increase the size of said object. Now I cannot use this multi-select feature in Video Pro X16 whatsoever. This seems like a huge downgrade, is there an actual way around this? Or is this feature entirely gone for some reason?

Using the Size/Position tool to move multiple objects is not something I have ever tried to do, but simply by selecting them all (hold down Shift whilst selecting the first and last, if they are contiguous, or Ctrl if they are not) makes them all, in effect, a "group" which can then be dragged and dropped wherever you wish to place them.

Or have I misunderstood and you want to do something different?

@emmrecs Hi, I read it as using Size/Position/Rotation to move/resize multiple objects in one go.

@jake-h Hi, no, you can't do that anymore, it was a feature that went away a few yrs back, you now have to move/resize one object, right click that object - Video effects - Copy video effects, then select the other objects & right click - Video effects - Paste video effects.

I think you can apply the change to one and then hold down Ctrl and select other clips and then right click and 'Apply to all'.
