    Posted by Jonathan Hay on January 30, 2006 at 9:30 pm

    I’m editing some footage that is really terrible (everything is faded and red). In order to make the video watchable I have to add several filters. This is what I love about Vegas. I however do not like adding nearly identical filters to hundreds of clips. Is there any way of copying my filter selection and pasting it to another clip?

    Thanks so much,
    Jonathan

    Select the event with the effects added. “Copy” that event.

    Select the events that need those effects. Right-click and choose “Paste Event Attributes”.

    This works great, but be careful that you haven’t already tweaked the attributes of the target clips.

    Vegas will paste any filters into the target clips, but will NOT overwrite any existing filters. So, if you’ve already applied color correction, the Paste operation will simply add another instance of the filter, with the settings from the source clip.

    Regards,

    Wow, thanks! That was really easy. Sorry for the novice question.

    You can also save and apply your FX settings as an FX Chain by clicking on the ‘add fx’ button and where you see the list of FX there is a Save As box on the right.

    Remember also that you can apply FX to the whole media file (as opposed to the individual timleine events) by applying them at the Project Media level.
