Adjust Color over multiple clips

I have made some color adjustments to a clip in my expert timeline. I selected the clip, clicked "Adjust" then made some adjustments to "Color" and "Color (RGB)" I would like to apply these adjustments to the rest of the clips in my timeline but I don't see that as an option. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Here's a trick from my book.
Right-click on the clip you've adjusted and select Copy. Then select the other clips you want to apply these same adjustments to, right-click and select Paste Effects and Adjustments. Voila!

  • Adjusting volume on multiple clips

    How can I adjust volume on multiple clips at the same time in FCP?

    Highlight all the clips you want to adjust, then press Apple "+" or Apple "-" to raise and lower the levels in increments of 1, and Apple "[" and Apple "]" to raise and lower the levels in increments of 3.

  • Adjusting audio of multiple clips in the timeline simultaneously

    Is there a way to adjust the audio volume of multiple clips in the timeline simultaneously?

    Or you can send the whole things over to Audition and work in multitrack there. 
    I like to get everything edited in Prmiere and then send the audio (I never bother with a refernce video) to Audition for finish work.  There you can apply effects to individual clips, individual tracks or the entire mix.  I always put a hard limiter on the Master track at -3dB to prevent clipping.  Since this is the last filter in the chain I can boost other clips first and still know that my audio will never be too loud

  • Adjust length of multiple clips?

    Is it possible to easily adjust the length of multiple clips _simultaneously_?
    I actually want to adjust the length of multiple stills and I know that a way to do it ís to adjust the default still length, and then *reimport* (this is crazy!) the pictures and then automate them to a sequence... but that is just so awkward.
    Grateful for any help!

    Ah, it sure is a candidate!
    In the audio sequencer Cakewalk Sonar there's a feature to adjust the length of selected (single/multiple) clips. You can select a percentage and then select if it's to affect the duration of clips or the start times, or both. (Both is great if you want to shorten them and still have them stay adjacent.)
    So, a feature request it is! :)
    Meanwhile, I'd suggest Adobe to take a good look at popular audio sequencers, there's _a lot_ of great & convenient features to mimic...

  • Color Correction multiple clips

    I want to manually lower the saturation on multiple clips in Final Cut Express. Is there any way to do this to multiple clips at once?

    Hi -
    Yes, apply the filter you want to use to a single clip, and make the adjustments you want to make. When you have it the way you want it, select the clip and type Command + C to copy it. Then select all the clips on the timeline you want to apply the filter to and type OPTION-V which will bring up the paster attributes pane. Check the box for Filters, and click OK. This will paste the filter and the filter settings to all the clips you have selected at once.

  • Best approach for green screen over multiple clips?

    So I know this may fall under the category of after effects, but starting with a project in premiere with many clips and cuts, what would be the best way to apply green screen over all of these clips? I'd think that making all of these clips after effects compositions would be excessive and not the best approach. So is there a better way to go about doing this?

    In these cases it's best that you test with one clip before going all in and having to change direction after much is done.  You can get by with Ultra Key in PPro if the screens are done correctly and clean enough.  Much will also depend on the expected result.  That is, you may wind up doing lots of tweaking for shots that might not pay off if they're quick/action, etc.  I usually go round house for AE involving complex shots that need to be really clean, but have opted for Ultra in PPro for quick clips with action.  When I do use Ultra Key I use more than one instance of the key.   So, test it both ways and use this as an opportunity to know the Pro's of both methods.

  • Adjust audio on multiple clips at same time (not in same timeline)

    I have 341 individual audio clips in a bin (individual sequences) and I need to raise the dB on all of them (probably +3 or +5). I have 3 languages to do this in for a total of almost 1000 individual sequences. I'd prefer not to have to set each one manually. It's easy enough to open all timelines by selecting all, but then I have to manually adjust each sequence by selecting it then using keystrokes to up +3 or +1, then close the sequence.
    I can't use Sound Convert because I need to retain the .ima4 encoding on the audio files. Sound Convert can do a batch audio gain change - but I can't find a way to do it in Final Cut Pro. Any suggestions? Have tried Automater too - but that's tedious.
    Thank you all!

    How were these clips of yours created that they were too low to be audible? How were your sequences created without using the VU meter or with no regard for the presentation requirements? The question you need to answer is quite simple:
    Do you recapture them all properly and replace the media or do you slog through the effort required to correct the mistakes you and your team made?
    The effort required to build a hack often surpasses the effort to start from scratch. But I hope you get a decent suggestion for a script.

    Wow. Thanks for this helpful post. Must be great to never work on a project where requirements change or Apple changes specs in the 3.0 SDK that weren't there in the 2.2.1 SDK. Lucky you work on all those straight-forward and easy projects. Gosh...must be nice.

  • Is there a way to adjust volume across multiple clips or entire movie?

    I am editing a lot of movies flying in ultralights. I want to keep the noise of the engine in the background, but I would like to lower the volume across the entire video. When there are 30+ clips it's very tedious to do one at a time when what I would like to do is apply the fix to the whole video. Is there a way?

    Open tools and go to Audio Mixer.

  • Adjusting volume for multiple QT clips

    If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it! I have about 100 5 or so minute QT clips at various volumes. They are a series of mini-tutorials for language learning. Most are about the same volume, but when some were recorded, the volume was much too high. I'd like to standardize the volume for all of them. None need volume boosting. Can QT batch adjust volume for multiple clips? Or is there some standard process so that the viewer isn't constantly adjusting the volume (apart from re-recording!).
    Thanks,
    Tony

  • Batch processing and rendering multiple clips in SpeedGrade CC?

    I'm new to SpeedGrade CC, just watched 2 hrs of Lynda training, and I'm just about ready to go. Before people jump on my question, let me walk through what my indended use will be.
    Unlike most of the content / workflow that was discussed in the training, I'm not color grading a sequence of clips stitched together in a timeline, but multiple clips that have been pre-edited to length, that I want to apply the same color correction two. This will only be done to small groups of clips, maybe 4-5 at a time, but since I'm all about efficiencies, I wanted to ask what the best workflow for doing this is.
    Let's assume that I've taken one of the clips and adjusted everything natively in Sg (no Dynamic link from Pr). I like where I ended up with the settings so I saved a .look preset file.
    So what is the next best way to handle applying these settings to the other files? Creating mutliple, separate Sg projects doesn't seem the efficient way, and having to cue up each succesively for Render, equally as slow. In the lessons the instructor illuded to working with and processing "dailies", which I also assume would be achieved through a batch process, but that isn't covered.
    I appreciate the advice!
    Steve

    Interesting ... process ... you have there. Hmmm. I can't think of any way you could work in Sg that isn't on a timeline. Whether made in PrPro or there in Sg(native) ... it's a video editing program, and that's done on a timeline. Plus the way the both PrPro and Sg are designed, you MUST define and name a project before you can start to work.
    Now, other than where the working files for the project will be kept, you don't really have to complete the forms out in PrPro especially. After you give your project a name and say where it's files will be kept, you can simply skip the rest and when you create a new sequence & drop a clip onto it, the sequence settings will be set to match your footage.
    Now ... do you have all one type footage (codec, frame size & rate) or different kinds, say some 1080p-24fps, some 720i-60fps, some 460p-29.976fps, that sort of thing?
    You know, what I'm thinking ... might actually be the easiest. Create a project in PrPro ... and a new sequence for each type of footage. Use the media browser panel to import all your footage into the project panel ... drag & drop a few similar clips to a sequence, then DL that over to Sg (takes a couple seconds) to grade/look 'em. Save 'em back to PrPro, then render that sequence out. Then when you know you've got a good render, either delete the clips from that timeline & re-use it, or create a new one. Do your next group. Rinse and repeat, so to speak.
    I take it you've no reason to save the sequences of graded clips past rendering them, so you should be able to use just the one "projects" and import folders as necessary, removing them as you will. You won't spend near any time with the "project" details, but the programs will be happy.
    Again, as noted above you can either copy a grade to other clips on a sequence or put an "adjustment layer" over the clips of a sequence in PrPro (project panel: new item -> adjustment layer) and then grade that ... it will automatically be applied to all clips under it.
    And before you ask again, there isn't any way to work a single clip without it being a "project" with a timeline. These aren't photoshop, where you can open a single image.

  • How to apply 3 way color correction to multiple clips in Final Cut Pro?

    I have multiple clips from the same time and space footage that need color correction. I have worked on one of the clips and found the settings I like.
    Is there a way to apply that correction to other clips without starting from scratch on each one?
    Thanks!

    SoCal (above) listed one way. Another way you can do it if you like the color correction that you have done and want to save it, you can click the picture of the hand in the color correction tab and drag it into the browser. This saves that specific arrangement of colors, highlights, etc.
    Also, this might be a little easier but instead of pasting attributes and right clicking you can just grab the hand (that I just talked about) and drag it onto the clips you want to apply the same color correction to. The hand is located in the color correction tab (in viewer) and is under the "numeric" button.
    Note: All of your clips in your timeline will have different contrasts, brightness, colors, etc. NO clip is going to have the EXACT same attributes as another. It doesn't matter how expensive and professional your camera is. Every shot is different whether you are using artificial lighting or the natural lighting. Having that said, you will probably still need to adjust your different clips a little bit to make them look like they are in the same room at the same time. Hopefully if your lucky or had perfect lighting for all of your shots, you will not have to do much messing around with your contrast, brightness, etc. Good luck!

  • How to change color on multiple text clips

    I just finished creating a video with a lot of moving text. It's about 40 mins long. The client wants the text color to be different in the video. My problem is I have multiple text clips (hundreds) that I need to change.
    Is there a simple short cut to do this. I love how in fcp you can use the past attributes feature to paste drop shadows and other motion elements on multiple clips. I haven't seen this option for color though.
    Thanks,
    Cody

    Thanks Mjax4,
    That's definitely one way to do it. The only negative is having to render all of that.
    You cannot simply copy/paste the color...
    Here's another way to do it. Note: this isn't really elegant AND it's still going to require rendering - so it might not work for you. But, I guess with any 'workaround' you've got to weigh the pros & cons, though, eh?
    Anyway, you could
    1.) Put a Color Solid on the video track above one of your titles.
    2.) Set the solid's color to the exact color you want the titles to take on.
    3.) Set the solid's composite mode to "Travel Matte-alpha". (This will use the alpha info. from the text clip to cut a hole into your now-colored solid.)
    4.) Copy this clip to all the other titles, above them.
    Again, this is just another workaround...so your alternatives are:
    • Bear down and re-do all the graphics properly...time-consuming!
    • Use one of the "other" techniques and wait on a render.
    They both cost you time. But at least with rendering - you can do whatever else you want while it's happening. It's wait-time. Not WORK time. Up to you!
    Hope this helps.

  • Adjusting multiple clips

    Using Final Cut Express HD 4.01.
    I'm having an issue adjusting multiple clips at the same time in the timeline and was curious if someone could assist...
    I have 5 clips in the timeline. I've taken the images in the Canvas and made them cover only a portion of the 16:9 screen. Say 50%.  I want to highlight all 5 clips and move them (all at once)  in one direction.  If I shift select all 5 clips and move the frame in the Canvas only the first clip is adjusted....I want them all to move at the same time.
    And perhaps I then want to apply a change in Brightness to all 5 of those clips....when I shift select all five frames, choose the appropriate effect in the browser only the first clip brightness is adjusted.
    Many thanks for any help!
    Happy New Year.

    Work with one of your clips to set the position and brightness. Once you are happy with that, click on that clip on the timeline to select it, then type Command + C to copy it.
    Now select the remaining clips you want to match your copied clip - so that they are all selected, and type Option-V which will bring up the Paste Attributes window. You can select what qualities from the clip you copied you want to paste on to the clips you have selected.

  • Adjust colors caused clip to go to slow motion

    I have a 4 minute clip in a file that is 30 gig. I didn't like the color of the clip so I used Adjust Colors in Video FX to change them. Now that clip is running at about 1/3 speed. How do I either fix this or undo the effect? Is that a major bug or what??? As it took nearly an hour to render, I made umpteen other changes to the project while it was rendering so just hitting undo is not an option.

    Discovered that hitting delete removes the rendering. So now the question is, why does changing the color cause it to go into slo mo?

  • Color adjustment on Multi-cam clip in 10.1 not working and crash the app

    In version prior to 10.1, I can do color adjustment on multi-cam clip and I can see the color change right away.
    However, when I do the same action in 10.1, the change doesn't reflect immediately on the viewer. I need to move like a frame to have the effect shown. Sometimes, FCPX shows an error when I do that action and force me to quit the application.
    Anyone having similar issue?
    Any solution?
