SUPER USEFUL: Use clean title as adjustment layer

[Pavel Pavlov]

Its great! Like Avid style where i can use effects to empty track over clips

[Andy Nickless]

Brilliant – but limited!
What a great idea this is – it works a treat! The only problem for me is that it affects everything beneath the adjustment layer – that means any clips below the one I want to add an effect to, are affected too.
Despite this, I’m sure I’ll be using this a lot – (thanks)!

Well if you want to limit your effects to specific clips, then just put them in a compound clip and apply them directly to the clip – no need for an adjustment layer

Thanks Mark – yes, I’m aware of the advantages of Compound Clips but I wish Apple would give us Paste Effects as in legacy FCP.

Interestingly, if you make a Compound Clip of your connected clip with the ‘adjustment layer’ attached, the adjustment only applies to the clip within the Compound Clip. Any clips below, revert back to their previous state.

Not sure whether this is of any practical use, but it’ 15.30 here and I’ve been up since 03.30 this morning, so the thought process is even slower than usual!
