    Is there a way of selecting MULTIPLE clips on the timeline and applying an effect i have saved to a bin to the top and tail of each clip. Its a dip to colour (which Ive modified to look liek a camera flash, so it goes on the front and end of a clip, not the clip body its self.

    Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

    If you create a bin called ‘Quick Transitions’ and put your custom transition in there, it will show as an option in the Quick Transition dialogue box. You can the apply that to all transitions within in/out points on the timeline. Handy if you have consecutive shots to apply the transition to, not so much if they are spread throughout the timeline.

    Just a bin within the project, but it must be correctly named?
    Thats just what i was hoping for.
    Will try tonight.

    Could you do same for say a picture in picture effect to be used multiple times?

    Cheers

    Save your effect to a bin
    Multi select your timeline clips
    Double click your effect in the bin

    Be aware if your timeline clip already has an effect on it you will either overwrite that effect with a new one or you may get an effect does not apply message.

    Alt drag effects to add more than one to a clip

    With transitions the bin has to be named ‘Quick Transitions’ (case sensitive) in order to show in the dialogue box. With effects it’s more straight forward as Glenn explained and the effect can be saved in any bin, its name is irrelevant.
