One way would be to put all the clips you want effected on their own track and applying the FX to that track.

… or if the events have no other FX alreday applied, you could apply your chain to one, Ctrl/C the event to copy, select the other events, then paste attributes by right clicking on one of the selected ones.

This brings up a workflow question I had for a project.
(Attending DV Film’s workshop on transferring video to film I was told using gamma on the video – like Cinetone with the Z1 – was not advisable because film transfer would only make it darker and it would be too dark. This left me with applying one look in post for the DVD and leaving any special “look” for them to create.) I want to apply several “film looks” throughout the long project — a “flashback” look, a “dream” sequence look, etc. I was thinking of adding several tracks and applying one effect for each track, then if I come to a dream sequence, for example, just dropping it on the right track. If I understand correctly, the two suggestions are my bestchoices? Right?

If you are applying FX to sequences that are made up of many timeline events, then the most convienient way to apply them is either to add them to tracks, as you’ve outlined, or have the sequence as a project and apply them to nested veg files in the assembled project.

Thanks, Gary. I’m not exactly sure of how to do it the second way. Assuming I will do a “DVD version” of the movie and would then “turn off the effects” and cut into 20 min reels for film transfer, what would be the easier method? I was thinking I could just turn off the effects in the track and render out the segments for transfer (after putting in the beeps and delays for film/audio sync). Does this work for either procedure?
