Hi…
“5. I’m trying to do a final color grade by adding an effect to an empty layer at the top of the sequence in order to have a uniform look that i can apply across all clips below it – and that i can tweak and change after client inputs. I can’t get this to work – do i have to enable a special “adjustment layer” or something somewhere.
In Avid I do this by dropping an effect on an empty track. ”
Another option is to multi select the clips, right click and choose Nest.
This drop the selection in a subordinate sequence.
Then apply your effect on your master timeline to the nest.
