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?

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.

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!

Help! Trouble applying video effects

Hi. Hope someone can help me!
I can't seem to apply video filters to my clips in FCP. I've tried everything, including various methods for applying filters and trying different filter types. The only thing that seems to work is when I add an effect to the master clip (not ideal!), and even this method fails as soon as I drag the clip from the viewer into the timeline. Then, poof! No effects!
I don't understand why this is happening.
I'm using Mac OS 10.4.11 and FCP 5.0.4.
Thanks!

#44: FCP acting weird - Trash Prefs
Shane's Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should
If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the appropriate version of FCP Rescue at http://www.fcprescue.com and run it.

2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

How to apply video effects across several clips

Does anyone know how to apply a video effect across several clips in a sequence, as opposed to doing each clip individually?

Nest the sequence and apply the effect to the nested sequence.
You will find links to many free tutorials in the
Premiere Pro Wiki that will quickly
show you how things are done in PPro.

Need to find Video Effect Button cuz its not in Inspector

In my iMovie 11 i have audio effect instead of video effects in the inspector.
i don't know how to change it/ or find video effects button. Help? thanks

It seems that you are opening the Inspector from a clip in the Event Library. Video effects are not available for Event clips. You need to create a Project, then drag clips (or segments of clips) from the Event to the project timeline. For a new Project, select from the menu File > New Project.
Double-click on a clip in the Project to open the Inspector. In the Inspector's Clip tab you will see the following:
Click on the Video Effect selection bar to reveal the following panel:

Timecode video effect issue in Premiere Pro CS6?

Appears to be similar in description to the issue folks were having back in 5.5. Here's the details...
• New install, making the jump from FCP, first open of this PPCS6 install.
• Source footage brought in as DVCproHD 720p @ 60 fps. Imported into new bin and then onto timeline in sequence 1... works beautifully.
• New transparent video clip on track above footage, stretched to full production length. Applied video effect > timecode to transparent clip.
• I see the positioning crosshairs and darkened translucent box and the field indicator... but no rolling numbers, even after rendering.
Just need to make a TC burn of the footage and I've spent half a day trying to get the burn to work.
Any ideas?

Peter,
Thanks for your response, however, no avail, same issue. However, I think I may have found what this issue's root cause is... being a designer, I've far too many fonts installed (managed via Linotypes manager) with a conflict here and there, and I've had to use my customer's "helvetica" and other fonts on occasion. I activated a new account on my computer (nice and clean fonts & settings) fired up the same document in Premiere and BOOM rolling timecode appears. So with that solution in hand, my thought is somewhere I've damaged/lost the font in my base account that Premiere uses to generate timecode. I wish it was a setting I could change in the timecode video effect to choose what font is used... maybe you could pass that on to product development? Or do you know specifically what font it uses for the TC video effect?
Anyway, thanks for your reply... now I'm off to go see if I can fix the font issue in my base user account.

Video effects not working on nested sequences in Premiere Pro CS5

Hi -
I am having some trouble with Premiere ProCS5. I have a project with a few clips which I put together in one sequence. I put this sequence into another sequence. There I will add one or two tracks of additional images and apply color correction.
The problem is: None of the video effects I drag onto the sequence (which now is a nested sequence) have any effect. Whatever I change in the effect controls will not sho up in the monitor. Audio effects do work, though. Furthermore, none of the tracks above the nested clip are displayed. To clarify: The nested track is on V1, another clip is on V2 and an image is on V3. Only V1 gets displayed.
I know this is supposed to work and it actually does in another project created in the same version on the same machine with the same kind of material. But no matter how often I create a new project, applying video effects to a nested sequence just does not work.
Even more strange is the fact that my applied effects DO show up in the "Export Settings" window. They DON'T, however, in the final rendered file. I would suggest this is a bug.
What could be the reason for this behaviour?

It can help if you Toggle Track Output to ON. The visibility icon on the left side on each track.

Applying sporadic effects

If I want to apply an effect to one part of a clip but not another, is the best way to mult that clip and apply the effect to the mult, or to use the track automation settings?

You might be best served using Clip Effects Rack for this particular effect, instead of Track Effects Rack. Select your clip, open the Effects Rack, and select "Clip Effects" at the top. Add the effects you want in place. Then on the clip, click the triangle at the upper-right corner and select "Rack Power" to expose the Rack Power automation envelope in the clip. Use keyframes to turn Rack Power off until the point in time you wish it to be enabled.

I have the current Mac Pro the entry level with the default specification and i feel some slow performance when applying after effects on my videos using final cut pro and also rendering a video takes long time ? what upgrades do you guys suggest?

i have the current Mac Pro the entry level with the default configuration and i feel lack of performance when applying after effects on my videos using final cut pro and also rendering a video takes long time ? what upgrades do you guys suggest i could do on my Mac Pro ?

256GB SSD it shipped with will run low and one of the things to watch.
Default memory is 12GB also something to think about.

Adjustment Layer staying white and won't apply its effects to layering video?

Adjustment Layer staying white and won't apply its effects to layering video?
I was using adjustment layers for color correcting and now my adjustment layer is just staying white and I've looked at so many forums and i can't find what I'm doing wrong...
I reset my preferences, I made a new project I'm clueless.

That is After Effects but ..try openig the composition window (TAB)

Applying an audio or video effect to multiple clips at once

Hi
Im an AVID user trying to transfer my skills onto FCP.
On AVID, to apply an audio or video mix to a number of cuts at once, you would mark an in point and an out point which encompasses the cuts you want to apply the effect to, then select "apply transition in to out"
Is there a FCP equivalent of this function or is it only possible to apply one effect at a time?
Thanks in advance.

Select the clips and use Modify>Levels. Or the keyboard Control-brackets to go up and down.
For your transition issue you need to do this

Screen goes black (dark) after applying a video effect

I've been trying to apply some fairy dust to part of a clip, and it works great in preview. But as soon as I "apply" it, the clip goes dark, so that when i play the movie the part where there should be a special effect is dark.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Blob
I also observed this when using fxstabilizer - I just changed back.
moved my play-head one frame forward and cut cmd-T then applied
the stabilizer again and then it worked fine.
May be a one time phenomenon but may be it helps in Your case too.

Imovie video effects not applying

Does anyon have any idea why some of my effects in iMovie have stopped applying. When I try to apply for example, "color posterize" the red bar at the bottom looks like it's applying the effect, but then when it's done, and I play the clip, either the effect hasn't applied, or there is just a black screen or the clip just won't play.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How do I add a video effect to multiple clips in my timeline at once?

How do I add a video effect to multiple clips in my timeline at once?

or... you can command click to select all the clips you want to apply the effect to, then double click the effect in the Effects browser. (PS - you can't simply drag and drop an effect on multiple clip selections, the effect will only be applied to the clip you drop it on -- but double clicking the effect will apply it to all selected clips at once.)

How do I select a photo from the timeline to apply an effect.

I am tryiing to select an individual photo on the timeline to apply an effect like a zoom or pan.

I suspect your answer is for you to right click the video (your slideshow in video .psess format) now on the Premiere Elements 11 Expert workspace Timeline and then select and click on "Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow" command. The command will achieve that and you should be able to move forward with your editing plans.
The above applies if these are the details of your workflow which I believe to be the case....
1. In the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor you put together some photos and used the Slide Show Editor's Cross Dissolve transition in the Slideshow Editor slideshow.
2. You outputted the slideshow from the Elements Organizer 11 Slide Show Editor using the Output option of Edit with Premiere Elements Editor.
3. When you do that you will find in Project Assets, a folder with the projects assets as well as one copy of the slideshow as a video in .psess format. There will also be a copy of the .psess video on the Timeline.
4. When you use that route, the Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow command is available to you in order for you to make additional significant edits to the slideshow before a burn to.
If you use any of the Slide Show Editor options to create the wmv version of the slideshow (Burn to Disc or Save As A File Movie wmv), the file on the Timeline will be a whole video in wmv format. That cannot be broken apart with the Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow command.
Please review my assumptions and speculations and let us know if the answer that I provided was appropriate under the circumstances.
If not, lots more details please.
Thanks.
