Is Media Crop available?
I see there are event, track and media FX available but I’m having trouble finding Media crop. I literally have 1000 individual sections of interview clips that I’d like to apply the same cropping to without having to set a crop on one clip then paste events to a hundred or so clips at a time. In retrospect, I probably should’ve cropped the main video exactly how I wanted BEFORE splitting the video hundreds of times (insert facepalm)
Thanks!!!

Hi Oscar!
I’ve often thought it would be great to have the exact thing you’re asking for.
Although you can’t apply a “pan/crop” effect at the media level, here are a few ideas:
1. Crop the first event on the timeline the way you’d like, then “COPY” the event. Right-click the event and choose “select in project media”, then right-click the project media (which that event is from) and choose “select all timeline events”. With all the timeline events now selected (which are using that media), right-click one of them and choose “paste event attributes”… done! OR use “selectively paste event attributes” to just paste the pan/crop without affecting other FX that might exist on those other events.
2. If you’re OK with black borders, you can add a “cookie cutter” to the media (or track)
3. Do similar to what you did in #1 (above) to select the events using that media, and put them onto their own track, then use the “Track Motion” to change the size of the events on the track
