Set effects duration for every layer

[Alex Udell]

set up 3 sec blur you like on the first clip.

then copy that clip

select others…

“paste attributes”

and choose the attributes you want to paste from the copied clip

Glad I could help.

The only way I can see to speed up your process is if all your clips are the same length (duration). If that’s the case, you could do Step 8 (from above) say 5 times, then select all those adjustment layers, copy them, and then paste them at the next edit point where you need your adjustment layer. Just make sure only the video layer with the adjustment layer is the active video layer otherwise your pasted clips will go on whatever is the lowest active video layer.

If your clips (edits) have differing lengths (durations) then, you will just have to repeat Step 8 for every edit. That being said, 30 edits is not a lot. I had the impression based on your previous post that you had hundreds of edits. ☺

Thanks Alex!
But it does not work. Attributes in the longer clips show longer blur not 3 sec anymore.

Thanks Jamie! 30 edits are not too much but i have to edit many projects with thousands of clips. So i’m afraid of editing them manually.
If they have same length i could use Preset with keyframes and apply the whole timeline easily. Unfortunately, they dont 🙁

when you paste attributes…

make sure you deselect “Scale attributes time”

I gave up. Dont know why isn’s there a function to do this stuff…

[Alex Udell]

We’re obviously missing something abot what you are trying to do…

I just did this with copy/paste attrributes…

and the effect duration per clip was exactly the same on both clips….even though the clips themselves have different lengths….

1) created key frame effect on first clip….
2) in sequence select that clip… copy
3) select 1 or more destination clips….
4) paste attributes…(double checked that “SCALE ATTRIBUTES TIME” is not checked)

done….

confirmed…keyframes have not been scaled over time and are the same duration for all clips….

Oh my cow. It worked.
Something wrong happened with my PR and i cant open titles window, so i’ve reinstalled it. I realized the keyframes work exactly now.

Thank you so much Alex. You are amazing!
