Flip Footage 180* / Apply Motion Attributes to Multiple Clips

[Dustin Parsons] “If not, does anyone have a method they’ve used before that doesn’t require rendering and will keep the footage upright when I send it to Color? “

Turn your monitor upside down.

[Dustin Parsons]

Yeah, that seems to do the trick for the video but my mouse movements are backwards and all the text is upside-down. Maybe there’s another method?

Exactly what I was thinking!

Your video monitor dude, not your computer monitor.

I don’t have a video monitor…

What the heck is wrong with the flop filter?

Have a wonderful day.

Lots of rendering

[Dustin Parsons]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but if I use the Flop effect the clips will still be upside-down after sending the footage from FCP to Color?

Whereas if I was to rotate them 180* using the motion attributes they will not (this I know for sure).

Since nobody has answered my question

“Is there a way to apply a 180* Rotation to the Motion attributes of all my clips at the same time before I drop them in the Timeline?”

I’m assuming it can’t be done.

No, you can only copy/paste attributes in the timeline.

So quick steps that help me move faster.

1 – Double click a clip (master clip or timeline) to open it in the viewer.
2 – Goto the motion tab and set rotation to 180.
3 – Goto Menu – Effects:Make Favorite Motion (or ctrl^f)
4 – Goto Effects Window:Favorites Bin
5 – The Favorite you just created is in there titled “myclipname (Motion)”
6 – Rename to something like “Red Rock – 180 rotate”
7 – Goto Menu – Effects:Favorite Motion Effects to see what the quick-key is. Most recent favorite defaults to (ctrl^+shift↑+5)
8 – double click the clip that needs the rotation and push the quick-key for the new motion fav.

With your bin opened in list form stretching from top to bottom of the screen you can power through 200 clips in less than 5 minutes. I know this isn’t the best but it is really pretty fast and it will be the correct orientation for color. If any of the Gurus know how to apply a filter or favorite to multiple master clips at once please step in here and share. I hope this helps at least decrease your time on this step.

Best,
