apply effect to whole sequence
if i want to apply an effect to the whole sequence is the only way to do it to put it into another sequence and apply it there?
in avid i remember you could create a new video track and apply effects to all video tracks below it.
how to do it in FC?
thanks.

i believe that is the only way, or using the nest command which is basically the same thing, but what’s wrong with it? i prefer this to avid’s way for sure…

you can drag and select everyhting and then with it all selected you can simply drag the effect right on it all. But I prefer the nest method personally.

Yeah. If you want to be able to turn the effect on and off, best to nest it. But FCP should institute some sort of effect layer akin to PS and AE.

Or at the similar way it’s done in Avid (adding the effect to a track) -
Agreed. Vegas also handles this well. Very easy to apply fx to clips, track, or whole project. All nles should have this ability.

Avid works by rendering down layers. This is fine in a HD fully uncompressed format. In everything else it degrades the image quality. Avid’s system allows layers to be compressed and then recompressed multiple times. I hope FCP never adopts this solution, but remains, as most compositing applications do, with rendering only from the source media.
