Any kind of script to set all imported clips to "Full Levels"?

VP21 has been all over the place when I import clips, sometimes it sets the levels of the clips correctly, other times I get to color grading and realize half of the clips are showing as Undefined, which by default seem to be the limited color range. I do not remember this being a big issue in recent years.

I know you can go to Properties of each clip, then go to media tab, then set it correctly; but when you have over 400 clips on an average project, doing that for each and every clip is pretty tedious. I am not talking about using level transforms on the clips/tracks either, as that never seems to work out 100% great, and gets me into issues where clips are loading at a different color range. I just want VP to show my files as intended.

Take a look here and modify as needed:

This is what I mean:

Sometimes it imports into VP21 correctly (Full), other times it loads as undefined (which seems like it is defaulted to Limited).

Control - A, to select all clips in media pool, then right click => set all levels to "full"?

That property is not available via scripting so use the option Adis-a gave you.

Thanks! I was trying to select all the clips in the timeline and the properties tab was greyed out this way. Going to the Project Media tab worked.
