Apply same effect to a collection of clips?

I am on Premiere cs6.  I have a collection of travel clips (100+) that were shot handy held and were a little shaky.  I tried using the wrap stabilizer effect on some of them and it helped.  Instead of opening each video clip one by one, apply the effect, and export the result.  Is there a way to apply the same effect on a collection of clips and then export the result? 

Sure you can.  When you add an effect to the tracks rack, you can reveal an envelope for each adjustment parameter of that effect in envelope section just under the track.  An example of studio reverb is shown below, and by adjusting the wet output level, controls the level of the effect on the clip over time.
There's a lot to explore using envelopes, and you also change the curve to splines if you wish.
A lazy mans workaround is to add a duplicate of the clip into a new track with the effect applied (removing or disabling the effect from the other clip), then envelope that new track's volume to blend with the mix, thus achieving a similar effect.  Make sense?

  • Best way to apply same effect to multiple clips?

    I have a bunch of short clips in the timeline. I want them all to end with a "fade to black" and I want the audio to fade to 0 db. I know how to do this by applying the "fade to black" and then applying 1/2 a crossfade 0db. Is there a way to apply these two effects to several clips at once? How do I apply the audio and video effects together to a single clip with one move?

    create the effect using the opacity and volume overlays on one clip in the timeline, then right-click and copy. Select (ie highlight) the other clips you want, right-click any of them and choose 'paste attributes'. From the pop up you'll want to check the relevant options, opacity and audio levels, and that's it.

  • Applying same effect to multiple titles

    sorry for the newbie questions (last video stuff I did was using avid and discreet effect many years ago)
    I've got a load of titles that I want to apply the same effect to (something like a slide direction blur), I've been poking around to see if I can create the effect on a clip, then replace one title with another  OR copy and paste all the clip attributes (including position and transparency) OR create a preset that contains all the effects.
    Ideally the solution would enable me to change the effect and update all the titles.  Is there a way?

    I've got a load of titles that I want to apply the same effect to (something like a slide direction blur), I've been poking around to see if I can create the effect on a clip, then replace one title with another...
    You can do this. Copy the title with the applied effect, paste it elsewhere into the sequence, and then hold down the Alt key as you drag the replacement title on to the pasted title. The effect will be preserved, but the clip will be replaced.
    OR copy and paste all the clip attributes (including position and transparency)
    You can do this, too. Select the clip with the effects in the sequence, either press Ctrl+C or go to Edit > Copy to copy the clip, select one or more target clips, and either press Ctrl+Alt+V or go to Edit > Paste Attributes. All effects and transformations will be pasted to the target clips, without changing the clips themselves.
    OR create a preset that contains all the effects...
    And you can do this, as well. With the Effects Control Panel open, hold down the Ctrl key and click on the names of all the effects you want to include in the preset. Click the flyout menu (it's the tiny four-stack of pancakes at the upper-right corner of the pane) and select Save Preset. I'll let you figure it out from there
    Ideally the solution would enable me to change the effect and update all the titles.  Is there a way?
    No way to directly do this; any effect or effect preset applied to a clip is an independent instance, and is not connected to the original in any way. However, you could use the preset building process I outlined above to semi-quickly update all your titles. If you've applied an effect or effect preset you don't want any more, select all the clips that are thus effected, and right-click on one of them and select Remove Effects. Tick the options that you want to remove. Then, rebuild your preset, and apply it to your clips again; you can apply a preset to multiple clips by selecting them all and dragging the preset from the effects bin. It's a little bit of a round-about way, but it's about the quickest it can get.

  • Applying Same EQ Ajustiment to Another Sound Clip -- Please Help

    I have been working with the Gain and Channel EQ's on a sound clip to raise audio levels and adjust sound levels, etc. How can I apply the same adjustment I created on a clip to a different audio clip (that follows immediately after for the same sound, etc.) I know there is a simple way to do this...but I don't know how.
    Please let me know.
    Thanks.

    If the different clip is in the same environment and same type of sound as the first, you could just create a preset with your settings and apply it, or if you're in a multi-track project, group these clips together on one track and put the EQ on the entire track.
    If the different clip is not in the same environment and you are trying to get them to match, you could try EQ matching in the processing menu. Take a snapshot of your EQ curve, apply to the 2nd clip. Haven't tried it myself, but give it a go.

  • Applying the same effect or animation to multiple clips with one edit

    I'm using FCE4.0.
    I'd like to select three clips in the time line and apply the same sizing or Animation to all three clips. Is it possible to do that without going to each clip individually?
    As an example, I have three clips with video that fills the screen. I want to reduce the video image to say 50% of the overall window. Do I need to resize each clip? Can't I just resize them all at once? Or apply an edit to them all at once that has the same animation?
    Thanks!!

    Size/position the first clip. Select Copy. Select the other clips. Select Paste Attributes and in that submenu, select Basic Motion

  • Applying video effects in Premiere at the track or media level?

    Hello,
       I am trying to adjust to the Premiere workflow, coming from Vegas, and have a question regarding the application of video effects. Premiere seems to apply effects at the clip level - for example, if there is a cut in the clip, the effect is only applied to a portion of the clip. Vegas allows for the application of effects at the media level - no matter how many cuts have been made - or at the track level. Is there something comparable in Premiere? I have been trying to apply the Neat Video effect, and the only thing I can think of is to select multiple clips when applying it, but it seems to crash Premiere when I do that. Any advice on making this work would be much appreciated.
       On a related topic, does Premiere apply effects in a chain, as they are added, or does it automatically perform an reffect first if it should be applied first? In other words, does it matter in what order the effects are applied, and if so, is there a rough order of how they should be applied?

    I'm running Premiere Pro 5.5 and have been able to lasso and apply my effects to several of my clips all at once.
    Once you apply the effect and fine-tune (if need be), you can right-click and create a User Preset to help save time (say if all of your clips needed to be color corrected). The User Presets are the first folder listed in the Effects bin.
    As far as the effects order are concerned, you pretty much have to play around with those yourself. I use a Video Limiter effect with a ProcAmp and have noticed that if they aren't in a certain order (the first listed effect is the first applied...) it changes how it looks and not always for the best. Best bet is to play around and see what order of video effects works best for you.
    Good Luck!

  • Applying the same effect to multiple clips.

    I have a piece of video split into parts on the time line. I'm trying to apply 1/ A continuous time code, using "time code generator" and the "viewfinder" effect.
    Is there a way of applying these effects at the same settings to all 3 clips at the same time and also making the time code run continuously?
    I've noticed when i apply these 2 effects to the individual clips with all the same size settings, they appear different on each clip.
    Any ideas?

    If I read your question correctly I would suggest adding the filters to one clip and then copy the clip.
    Then highlight the clips you also want those effects on and control-click and select paste attributes and check "filters".
    Here's the problem though with you wanting to use continuous timecode. The timecode generator won't deliver what you want if you're cutting and moving clips around the timeline. For that you would want to use Timecode Reader instead

  • Applying the same effect to multiple clips in a sequence?

    I have edited a trailer containing multiple clips in a sequence and I want to add the same amount of sharpen to each clip. Is there a quick way of doing this instead of clicking on each clip seperately and applying the effect, adjusting it and so on....?

    If you already have filters applied to the clips, then open the first clip in the Viewer and apply the filter you want - make adjustments as needed. Select all of the other clips in the Timeline that you want to apply the same filter and settings, then drag the filter from the clip in the Viewer to the highlighted clips in the Timeline.

  • Can I set a default to effect settings? Or apply the same effect settings to multiple clips?

    If I want to set multiple clips to have the same effect, can I do that without resetting the effects every time I add it?
    Or can I set a default setting to an effect that is different from the default default?

  • Applying One effect to several clips (not tracks!)

    i have one track with about 40 clips in it of different cut up audio. i want to apply one effect to several different clips at once. how do i do that?
    i know how to apply the one effect to one clip, but if i try and shift click four different clips, and then go to add an effect to it, the effects are grayed out
    and i really don't want to go into each clip, add an effect, adjust it and save it for every clip.
    is there an easier way?

    There are a few ways to do this. The simple way is to apply the filter to one clip. Open it into the viewer and change the parameters as you like. Select all the other clips and drag the filter name from the viewer onto the other clips. They all have the same setting.

  • How to apply an effect to multiple/all clips

    I'm sure I'm missing something elementary here, but I can't find a way to apply an effect to multiple clips at once in PE7.  Specifically I'd like to apply the Auto Levels adjustment effect across all clips in my project (makes sense because they were all recorded at the same time), but at best can onely copy the effect from one clip or section on the timeline to another; one at a time.  When working with a project that has upward of 100 scenes, copy and pasting to each individual clip seems like a lot of tedious work that should be easier.
    Does anyone have any suggestions or information that could point me in the right direction?
    Thanks!

    Dale,
    You have discovered one of the little "gottchas" with Copy/Paste Attributes - it does it for all.
    I do not know of a way to eliminate Effects globally, i.e. multiple Clips in this case. Unless there's a neat workaround, or secret switch, I think it will be by hand. That is the way it is in PrPro. Don't know about PE, but In PrPro one can select some of the Effects to Copy/Paste Attributes (for many Effects, but not all).
    Side note: Render your Clips and watch them closely with Auto Levels. I find that it "pulses" and that manually setting Levels (not the Auto one) is better.
    Good luck,

  • How Do You Apply Process Effects To Multiple Clips In A Multi-Track?

    A multi-track sequence brought over from Premiere, I have over a dozen clips from a funeral service video that need noise reduction.
    But, because it's a process effect, I can only work on one clip at a time. Furthermore, I may need to apply several passes of the NR effect to eliminate the noise without sounding weird.
    How then do I apply that effect (and its parameters) to the rest of the clips in the sequence?
    In Premiere, you can copy and paste effects (and their parameters) from one clip to another. There is no such thing in Audition that I can see.

    Hi, Alex.
    It seems you want to do some broadband de-noise processing. While one can do a noisefloor sampling from one clip and apply it to others (great for when you have multiple takes from the same setup), it may be best to noise sample each individually if the mic has moved position enough to cause the tonal characteristics to change.
    An example would be if on-screen talent is walking in an outdoor location. In one part of the location, a particular section of the clip has a lot of BG traffic noise. Another recording has a fountain in the BG - while it still may have some of the traffic in it, the predominant BG noisefloor is "strong fountain/weak traffic", so like others have mentioned, it makes more sense to make a new BG sampling to match the characteristics of this clip.
    All that being said, here is how you BATCH PROCESS / broadband de-noise a bunch of clips, it's a 4-tiered / 21-step process when starting from scratch.
                                  NOTE: there is a manual cheat after the Batch Processing lesson - skip to that if you wish
    (WARNING - this type of processing is most successful if the file has been EQ'd or gain boosted (if needed) before processing. This is also true for the noisefloor sample. It should be taken from the pre-adjusted clip so that it all matches level)
    1) find / open a source clip that best represents the BG noisefloor you wish to sample as your broadband source for processing,
    then in the WAVEFORM editor window press alt-shift-C to save this selection as a new file - give it a unique name that represents its function
         a. ideally, this selection will be more than 5000 samples
         b. should be free of non-BG noise sounds (Dx, footsteps, mouth sounds, it should sound like a very short ambiance loop)
    2) with your new sample saved and your source clip still open in the UI:
         a. load your noise print file
         b. adjust the Noise Reduction and Reduce by  sliders (I suggest you start with a noise reduction value of 100% with a reduce value of 3 to 6 dB)
         c. under Advanced Settings, set Spectral to 0%, Smoothing to 20, Precision to 7, and Transition width to 2dB - these settings
             are like painting not with a wide brush but with a thinner brush, which means less cancellation of frequencies you want to keep and less artifacting
         d. toggle on/off the Output Noise Only function to see just what you are subtracting in your process - a great way to make adjustments until your
             noisefloor-only sound is free of Dx and other Production sounds
         e. optional advanced step - in the process UI Frequency window, you can draw a curve to select the frequency ranges that will be processed - this is another
             way of "thinning the brush" so that you are NOT processing where it's not needed in the broadband range - i.e. hiss from a low-quality mic,
             open the FA window [alt-Z] to see realtime Freq. Analysis on playback of your clip with the processing;
             adjust your settings and the curve in the window to counter the frequency range of the noisefloor - this process is like alchemy, wicked awesome
         f. once you're happy with your settings,  click the Save Effects Preset button (down-arrow on hard-drive) next to the Presets pulldown button.
                   do NOT apply your process yet - that's the next step
    3) now, you're going to create the Favorite that the Batch Process will use to process your clips
         a. select Favorites / Start Recording Favorite (every user function of the software is now being recorded into a macro)
         b. in the Noise Reduction UI, click the Load Noise Print button and select your saved file
         c. now, select your preset from the pulldown menu
         d. click the Select Entire File button below the UI Freq. window
         e. click Apply
         f. click Favorites / Stop Recording Favorite
    4) now, under EDIT, select Batch Process
         a. select your new Favorite from the pulldown tab
         b. drag and drop the files into the Batch window or load them from the Load button in the upper left of the Batch window
         c. click the Export Settings button in the bottom left
         d. set any pre/postfix labeling additions (this works a lot like Adobe Bridge's Batch Rename tool - amending the original filename to differentiate
         e. set a NEW save location to isolate the files
         f. set the format / type / bitrate  (best to keep the original format or a higher quality); when finished, click OK
         g. in the lower right corner, click the RUN button and watch the magic right before your eyes
    [HERE IS THE CHEAT]
    Now that you're learned the magic of batch processing (FYI a new favorite can contain / execute multiple existing effect processes), here is what I recently did in a doc with interview footage - guys in front of a green screen with a less than perfect sound environment.
    1) in Multitrack mode, double-click your clip to process
    2) in Waveform mode, select the noisefloor area to sample and type shift-P
    3) type ctrl-shift-P to open the UI - adjust your De-noise settings for ALL of your processing
    4) type ctrl-A to select the entire file
    5) click Apply; type ctrl-shift-S to save this processed file (I add "_PROC") as an alternate to the original which still exists should you want to go back to it easily - the ALT file will be in the multitrack timeline
    6) type G (de-select I/O area) then type F12 key - returns to Multitrack mode
    7) double-click your next clip to process and repeat steps 3-7 until finished (you won't need to tweak the settings in 3 after the initial step 3)
    In 3-5 minutes, you're Done!
    I discovered another layer of coolness within Audition regarding CLIP Effects Racks where one can setup a stack of effects, save as a User Preset, and apply them to either an individual clip, a set of clips, or to a track.  This is great when you want to apply, for example, a Parametric EQ for filtering an outdoor location or boosting a lav mic's High Freq. Shelf for addition sibilance PLUS a Tube-modeled Compressor to handle dynamics...you spend a lot of time tweaking the settings "just right", and now you want to apply to more than one clip on a track.
    In a short film I'm working on, I use this technique to apply EQ and Room Ambiance (reverb) to camera perspective changes on a single track of ADR for off-camera Dx.  I place the Dx in a track. Splice on the camera edits to make unique clips, select the Audio Perspective preset I made for each camera angle, and Voila!
    Have fun!

  • Is there a way to apply an effect (same settings) on multiple files?

    I think the title pretty much says it all. I know that I can create a preset and for the dozen or so files I'm working with now that's not such a big deal, but if I get work through this client I could be working with fifty or so files and the time to open, add the effect, save, and close adds up fast. I've tried saving an applescript but that doesn't seem to work with applying an effect. Any suggestions?

    Copy the clip with the effect. Select the clips you want to apply it do. Use Edit>Paste Effects.

  • Apply video effect to a segment of a clip?

    I am selecting a small segment of a larger clip, when I apply a video effect like "Black & White"  the effect is put on the entire clip, not the part I have selected.
    Am I missing something?

    Sigamy
    Put your playhead (the yellow vertical line) where you want your effect to start, then hit command+B, then move the playhead where you want the effect to end, then hit command+B again, this will create a new stand alone clip that you can now apply your effect to without impacting the other parts of the clip.

  • How to apply same speed rate to several clips?

    Hi,
    Say I have 10 clips on a timeline, how I can change their speed to 70% or 43% or whatever, but all together?
    Thank you
    -T

    Ok, the solution is to use Compound clip.
    1. Choose group of clips,
    2. Press Option+G (or right click Compound clip),
    then all the compund clip will consist of grouped clips, but will behave as one.
    3. Apply the effect you want.
    Profit.
