removing effects
Hopefully I’m just being an idiot and there’s a quick fix…
I have a sequence that consists of about 50 shots on one layer of video. Each of these has a (different) color corrector and a thin red border in the filters.
I want to remove just the red borders but leave the CCs intact.
Any ideas? Currently I’m doing them all individually, and it’s not the end of the world, but knowing a fix would be good.

there is no direct way in FCP to remove a single specific filter from multile clips that also have other filters applied.
what you can do is export your sequnece as an XML file
open the XML file in a text editor and search the text of it for the red border filter
copy the full text of the filter from [effect] to [/effect]
open the text editors Find and Replace dialog
paste the copied text into the Find field, and leave the Replace field blank
press the Find and Replace All button
Save the result and then reopen the XML in FCPthe new sequence generated will be as before biut minus any instance of the removed effect.
… is that faster than manually removing each instance in the timeline? depends how many you’ve removed already probably
cheers
