    Posted by Vegasarian on May 3, 2006 at 9:49 am

    I’m trying to adjust my gamma settings on individual clips. At present when I highlight a clip on the timeline and adjust the gamma it appears to adjust the entire timeline rather than just the individual shot. Anyone?.

    WHERE are you adding the effect? Sounds like you’re adding it to the track or project instead of the event.

    After editing and before rendering I’m trying to ‘tweak’ the clips on the timeline Ed. Incorrect?

    ………make myself clearer. Im trying to adjust the gamma on individual events on the timeline.

    When you add an effect, it can be added in various places. You are indicating that the effect is affecting more than one event. If that is, indeed, the case, I’m guessing that you added the effect to the TRACK instead of the EVENT.

    Now… if you really only have ONE event and only want PART of that event modified, either split out the section you want modified or keyframe it so that only the section you want changed is really changed.

    add the Gamma adjust to the clip only instead of the track header-track header adds to ALL of the clips on the timeline

    You might also want to take a look at Vol 1 #12 of my newsletters for the “Scope of Effects” article.

    So how to adjust the gamma on just one event rather than the track?. When I say ‘event’I’m using Vegas terminology. I want to be able to adjust individual ‘shots’ on the timeline….or indeed, before they go to timeline

    You add the effect to the EVENT. That will ONLY affect that one event.

    You can add effects multiple places. The main places are:

    Event: Only affects that one EVENT
    Track: Affects everything on that one track
    Project: Affects everything in the project
    Media Pool: Affects that piece of media wherever it is on the timeline

    So… the question still remains: WHERE was the affect added? If it was on the event, all should be fine. If it was on the track, it would affect everything on that track.
