We'll need a bit more detail. What are you trying to do, exactly? And what do you mean, "cant [sic] copy/paste", you don't know how, or it does nothing, or it crashes or whatever?

I tried to copy scene camera's motion sample of a certain part of the clip and trying to paste it at the other part of the clip, it doesn't paste anything at all.

Well, usually you'd just select a bit of time, copy it, move the time selection without changing its length, and paste it. If you're using the shortcut keys (ctrl+C, ctrl+V). try with right clicking the timeline and choosing the copy/paste option directly instead. In find the hotkeys are kinda unreliable (though, while unlikely, it might just be a problem with my setup).

If you're trying to paste it to a camera in a different shot, you have to make sure to switch to that particular shot in clip editor mode, otherwise it won't work. If not, well, you still need to ensure the correct camera from the correct shot is selected. Might seem dumb, but the dumbest of mistakes are often those we don't think about.

Also, if the camera simply won't move past a certain point in time, perhaps the animation set doesn't extend far enough. Try double clicking on the active clip (in clip editor mode), and ensure the yellow strips representing the animation sets extend until past the clip's boundaries (light grey).

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
