applying filters to multiple clips

[Marc Smith]

You can save the effects as a ‘filter package’, then add that filter package to each clip on the timeline that you want to use it on.

So, pick one clip and click on the event FX icon. The Event FX windo will open.

Add the FX, change the settings for each FX until you get the desired results. You will need to click on the Event FX icon for that clip again to bring up the EVent FX window. When you do, you will see the FX chain at the top. Over to the right, click the “Save As” button and you can save the group as a fliter package.

Now go to your next clip and click the Event FX button and in the left hand pane, click the Filter Packages folder. You should now see the Filter Package you created. Choose it and the process can be repeated for all the other clips.

You can add all the FX you want to one of those clips and then save them as a preset. Just keep adding one after the other and you’ll see the chain grow. Then you the copy and paste attributes to the clips you want after selecting them all. One caveat however, any differences in cropping will be lost as that is one of the attributes being copied. The other method is to move them to a different track and apply a track effect as opposed to individual clips. I’m sure there are other ways but that is what comes to mind.
