I get what you’re saying and I’ve used that method before. That doesn’t help me with the issue I’m trying to correct in this instance. The timeline effects will affect ALL events on a time line. I need to do video level adjustments to scenes on a single clip that is 68 minutes long. This is a multicam edit.. cam 2 needs some work.
My use of “media effects” in the past would let me make changes to the entire length of a single clip either before or after I’ve used it in an edit. That part I understand. But with this clip there are areas that need to be brightened, and other long areas that need to be darkened, that’s why I needed to animate the adjustments. And that is easy to do but without the “sync cursor to media timeline” selection, the adjustments would be made blind.
I should have used video effects instead of media effects and made the adjustments BEFORE I started cutting.
Thanks for your interest in my little problem.
