  • Applying same effect to other footage

    Posted by Beth Nilsson on June 2, 2011 at 4:27 pm

    Hi. I’m doing some color correcting on piece of footage. Now that I have it correct, I need to do the same to the rest of the footage in my video. I followed directions to put the video clip into the viewer and hit option f but it’s not saving to my favorites. I also tried to “make favorites” under the effects tab but it’s not saving. Is there a better way to get this effect onto all my clips. Thank you!

    Sure, select the clip with the filters you want to copy and type cmd +c to copy it. Then select all the clips you want to add the filters to and right click on one of them to select “Paste Attributes”. Copy just the filters…

    If the clip you want to copy from has multiple filters, and you only want to copy one or two of the filters over but not all, then double click the clip so it loads in the viewer an select the filters tab. Now hilite all the clips you want to add the filter(s) to (ctrl click each one). Now hilite the effect(s) you want to copy over and drag it to one of the hilited clips in the timeline. The effect(s) will now be on all of the selected clips.
