How to change effects on multiple clips

Is there a way to change and/or adjust effects/filters on multiple clips at once? I have added an effect on a scene and I want to adjust the overall level to all the clips, i.e. the amount of the effect applied.
I highlighted all the clips and made the adjustment in the Inspector, but it only made the adjustment to one single clip even though I selected all. I REALLY do not want to sit and adjust each one seperately.
Anyone with an answer? Thanks

I am not adding an effect. I am adjusting ONE single effect within multiple clips that have multiple effects. if I just copy and paste it copies ALL the effects, which I do not want, because I have different effects for different clips. i.e. different color schemes etc.
In otherw ords, I wnat to be able to EDIT effects in multiple clips. E.G, I have added color correction, "looks" filter, etc to multiple clips. I just want to change ONE of those effects in multiple clips without disturbing the rest of the effects in those clips.

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 to put effects on multiple linked clips simultaneously

I want to dynamically link all of the vocal clips at the same time, if possible, from a Premiere Pro CS4 Project to Soundbooth CS4 and "warm" them up a bit in a sort of batch process. Can this be done, kind of like precomposing in AE or using an adjustment layer? They were all recorded in an interview setting and are virtually identical--just two people with same mic, etc.
Thanks, everyone.

Change duration of multiple clips "as one" overall clip?

Here's my situation:
I have a song at 127 BPM. I have a music video (muted sound) at 125 BPM.
I've spent a long time slicing up clips from the video into different channels and muliple clips to form one timeline (but with many clips and channels lined up).
I now want to change the overall duration of the video clip to match the BPM of the song (which I should have done in the first place), but the video is, as previously stated, sliced up in mulitple clips in multiple channels. How can I change the duration of all clips at one time, where the end and start of the clips still line up to eachother?
This would've been incredibly easy if there were a un-nesting feature. Where I can nest multiple clips, change the duration, and un-nest the clips to slices clips with a changed overall duration. (Which is not possible. Yes, I can drag the clips out of the nested clip, but the clips will still have the original duration).
TL;DR: How can I change duration of multiple clips "as one" overall clip?

Never mind. I've found a alternate solution. I used a time stretch calculator at http://mp3.deepsound.net/eng/samples_calculs.php and time stretched all the clips to match the BPM of the song. Now I only need to snap all the clips, which can be done one by one, but I found this trick to snap all the clips at once: http://vimeo.com/27428526.
I'll just let this thread stay open so other with the same problem can find this

Apple custom effect to multiple clips

Just received an extremely helpful type a bit ago and I'm hoping to capture lighting in a bottle twice.
I've done multiple Google searches on the subject but always came up empty. I'm looking to apply a custom effect to multiple clips at the same time (a link to a photo example is at the bottom of this post). Does anyone know a way of accomplishing this feat? It would increase my productivity ten-fold!
Thanks

Apply all the effects you want to one image in the timeline.
Select that image, right click and select COPY.
Now, select ALL the other images in the sequence, right click and select PASTE ATTRIBUTES then select the check boxes that apply to the effects you wish to transfer.

edit: looked at your image - what you want to do is reuse a custom TRANSITION.
Here's how.
Create the transition, save it as a favorite, then make it the default.
Park the playhead at the transition point and hit command +T

Add effects to multiple clips

Hello
I'm wanting to add effects to multiple clips (more specifically sharpen and color correction)
I select all the clips and drag into the viewer, but the effects only apply to the first clip. How can I easily have the effects apply to more than one or all clips in the timeline.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Here's how you do it:
1. Apply the effects to one clip.
2. Copy the clip
3. Select all of the other clips you want to apply the same effects to
4. Go +Edit > Paste Attributes.+ (I believe the command is Option-V)
5. Check the filters box.
6. Click OK.
Hope this helped,
Sasha

Disable Effects across multiple Clips

Hello. I was wondering if there was a way to disable/enable effects across multiple clips. I have done all the color correction/grading and have decided to cut another version. Unfortunately the effects I have added all need to be rendered. I want to turn off the effects do the edit, and turn them back on after I am complete. Is this possible? Thanks, Jeremy

Hi -
Here is a solution I use, but it has one weird step in it that I am not sure is just a quirk of my system . . .
Open the Sequence Settings.
Click on the Render Control Tab.
Uncheck the Render & Playback - Filters CheckBox
Click OK.
Now, on my system, in order to not display the CC filters I've applied I have to do these little extra steps:
Switch the RT playback control to Safe RT, then back to Unlimited RT.
Now the sequence plays without displaying the filters.
To restore the effect of the filters, you reverse the steps-
Open the Sequence Tab.
Click on the Render Tab.
Check the Render & Playback - Filters Checkbox, then click OK.
and again, don't know if this just my system but -
Switch the RT playback control to Safe RT, then back to Unlimited RT.
You'll see your Color Correction again, and it will need to be rendered.
Hope this helps.

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.

How can I/Is there a way to: apply a preset effect to multiple clips?

I will be editing a music video from this weekend in Premiere Pro CS4, is there a way I can paste a custom preset to multiple clips (selecting hundreds) without clicking each one and pasting/dragging?
If this can be done it's going to save me hours and hours of work!
If I try at the moment by CTRL clicking a few clips is only pastes/drags into 1 of the clips, not all of them!
any help would be appreciated

Yes, see the section
Copy and paste clip effects and
Apply effects to clips in the Premiere Pro Help.

How do you select/move multiple clips from one timeline to another?

Has to do with combining multiple edls from Avid - required due to an issue with duplicate reel names in the original Arri footage. I can move them one at a time, but it is very tedious. Is there a way to select multiple clips and move them together?

Actually discovered the magic of the shift key.
IRCP Beauty doesn't recognize multiple timelines in a session, so first you have to at least get the footage on multiple tracks in the same timeline. Shift + drag on the track will allow you to move it to another timeline. Also Shift + drag on the center of the first clip in a sequence will slide the entire sequence down - which is how timelines end up getthing offset all the time. Also, if there are multiple tracks in a timeline and some are locked and some aren't, Shift + drag on a clip will slide ALL UNLOCKED tracks in the timeline.
Finally, Shift + click on either in or out marker moves both points up or down the timeline.

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 Effect to Multiple Clips?

Hi,
Is there a way within Final Cut Express to apply a single effect such as Chroma Keyer to multiple clips? I've seen this done with Final Cut Pro but can't seem to replicate it in FCE.
Thanks for your help.

You do it exactly the same way you could do it in FCP. Drag the filter onto multiple selected clips, or copy a clip with the filter and use the paste attributes function.

Changing volume in multiple clips at once?

CMD OPT L to enter a numeric value either relative to the current level or absolute level

Change properties to multiple clips?

Hi, I was wondering if I could change the reel name of clips in an entire bin? I thought there was a shortcut?
thx! ea

You can select multiple clips and then Control-click (right-click) in the Reel column. That brings up a shortcut menu of all existing reel names from which you can select the right one, with that change cascading across all selected clips. You may (or may not) get a dialog warning you that you're changing the source file.
Of course, your Browser will need to be in List View to accomplish this. Also, if your reel name doesn't exist in your project already, you'll need to enter it manually - click into the Reel column - for a single clip, then try this whole process.
