Color correction
I am editing a wedding with Vegas Pro 9.0b. I’m almost finished and I’m going back through to clean up the details, particularly color correction.
I’m running into the problem that I’ve split up long clips into multiple short clips with individual pan/crops applied, but I waited until after I split them up to apply color correction, so now I face having to make a favorite and individually apply them to each one (probably 800 individual clips) or use the “paste event attributes” thing and mess up all my pan/crops. Is there any way to paste just the FX?
I’m hoping I’m not going to just apply my FX to the bus, because I have shots from multiple locations and angles on the same bus, and some of the levels and color corrections have to be timelined, and well, that’s not so bad to split them up, but I really hope there is just something I’m missing. Thanks in advance!

Here’s the shorthand: Make a Filter package and add to your selection needing CC-ing.
. .and here’s the Longhand!:
1] Adjust just one Event with your colour Correction until you are satisfied with its “look”.
2] Create a Plugin Filter Package from this NEW single link “chain” by clicking on the Plug-In Chain Icon and bringing up the “Plug-In Chooser – Video Event FX” window/menu.
3] Click on the “Save As . . ” Icon and enter a NEW name – I start mine off with my initials and then the Project and the version of the Package. So I’d type: GB LondonAugust 1a
4] Go back to the Timeline and Select ALL the remaining Events on the Timeline that need this correction added, or enough you can cope with!
5] Go to the Filter Package Window and drag your NEW Filter Package onto the first ONE of your selection, and the rest will get it too! This selection can be out of sequence too. Just start off selecting 2 or 5 or so on until you are confident. And you can use and reuse the Filter Package as often as you like.
This does work and only ADDS the filter package, here your CC, to what you want.
I’ve tried using the Project Media option for FXs, don’t like it, nor the Preset for Colour Correction . . .
Filter Packages? Marvellous!

Thanks, this is perfect, I’m stuck on the last step, I’ve got my plug-in chain saved. How do I get to the filter package window to drag and drop?

Step 5? Having a problem? Make sure you have Plug-In Manager Revealed:
1] GO: View | “Plug-In Manager” check this OR Ctrl+Alt+1
2] Plug-In Manager | Plug-Ins | Video | FX | Filter Packages
3] Locate your NEW one and “Drag” onto your Timeline Selection
