applying effects
Posted by Jan Van hove on October 26, 2016 at 1:36 pmWhen I drop an effect on a videotrack in the timeline, it applys to all the underlying tracks aswell.
How to avoid this?Glenn Sakatch replied 9 years, 9 months ago 3 Members · 5 Replies -

October 26, 2016 at 7:14 pmRAZOR BLADE the area you want to effect. So if it’s one clip, razor the track from the head of that clip to the tail..if it’s a small group, razor to include all in that group, then add the effect.

October 27, 2016 at 1:49 pmor just add it directly to the item you want to effect rather than the track above it.
You can multi-select items on your timeline …connected or not, and add double click the effect to add to multiple items at once.
I use Shane’s method if i want to do 90 percent of a timeline, but if its only everyother shot…like camera A but not B, i’ll do one of the other techniques.

October 28, 2016 at 7:13 amThis doesn’t work I m sorry to say. I am applying the effect to a clip in let’ say track V2, this is on top of another clip on V1.
Suppose a PIP of the clip on V2, then I want a page curl on this PIP. The curl takes also the clip on V1 which I do not want.Jan

October 28, 2016 at 10:00 pmTry having a track between them. The PIP on V3 and the other on V2. Sometimes this works. But one thing that’s tough to deal with Avid is that often the effect you put on a clip on V2 will affect every clip below it…even though it’s ONLY on V2. Odd…

Have you tried adding the curl first, and then alt add the pic in pic effect?Glenn
