Applying effects to many clips?
I want to apply the widescreen 2:35:1 effect to all my clips in my clip box before dragging them down to the track. They were all shot 16:9 720/24. Is it possible to do this bulk correction before taking them to the track?
Thanks!

select all right click and remove attributes>filters so that you are not doubling up filters….then with all clips still selected then in browser go to effects pick filter and drag to timeline it will put filter on all selected items

The simplest way to do this is to make a matte in Photoshop and make that the top layer of your timeline. It’s only 1 piece and it will matte your entire show.

Only do this is you want to delete ALL the filters currently on your clips. I see no reason at all to do this before adding a widescreen filter.

Arnie is spot on Jacob, whatever you may think you really do not want to apply a widescreen “filter” to al your clips before adding them to the timeline, if for no other reason that any further basic motion operations (resize/reframe?) and any filters added during the course of your edit (color correction?) will then be applied to the clip w/ widescreen already added. Not desirable. As noted add a widescreen matte to an upper layer and you’ll be much better off.
