COPY/PASTE MEDIA FX and REMOVE ALL MEDIA FX /REMOVE ALL EVENT VIDEO FX

Hello, guys.

I already did a search here in the forum on the question that I am doing. I've found similar things, but not as specific as this.

Of course, everyone here knows the difference between Video Event FX and Media FX. What I would like is for Magix to implement, at the Project Media level, the ability to copy Media FX from one media and apply to another or multiple selected media at once.

It is very tedious and repetitive to have to apply Media FX one by one in the Project Media medias. This greatly hinders the workflow of a busy, time-consuming editor to deliver the finished video to the client.

I work with multiple cameras, and as everyone knows, each camera chucks the 2GB file into 2GB, or 4GB depending on the model. So I have several files from the same camera, and I have other cameras, some with MOV in YUV Full Range (0-255) and others in AVCHD in Compressed YUV (16-235). So, I need to apply Media FX / Vegas Levels / Studio RGB to Computer RGB in each EVCHD Media. I need to leave all AVCHD images in Computer RGB mode because I render the entire project with an external encoder, Mastering Works 6, via Frameserver.
So I wish there was a way to do Copy / Paste Media FX on all media selected in Project Media.

Another thing missing in Vegas Pro is a way to REMOVE all Video Event FX from multiple selected events at once!

Ah! If the development team at least read what we write here in the forums, Vegas Pro would be so much better! It's not hard to dream, is it?

Adding and removing effects from events can be easily done using a script. For example, Excalibur will do that task for you as well as several other of the well known scripts.

If you have added effects to an event, you can "copy" that event and then "Paste event attributes" to the other events to copy those effects to the other selected events.

As for having a bunch of 2 (or 4)GB files for one long shoot, you can combine them into one large file instead when pulling them from the card.

I guess it would be too cumbersome to set up a specific track for all the effects you'd like to apply, or maybe stick them all on the timeline so you could apply the fx them chop them up there. Stabilization is the only media fx only effect i've used so im not sure if there's others.

Vegasaur is great for this purpose.

@vjsouza Also, I would like to politely suggest not capitalizing all of your post titles, and not adding too much extraneous detail. I know you are trying to make a strong point, but it hinders readability.

Don't know if this helps, but I seem to recall selecting the event I want to copy from, select copy, then selecting first clip on timeline, then select all events to end and then pasting to them all at once.

I think the OP wants to apply Media FX within the Project Media window and not on the timeline. Vegas does not have the ability to add FX directly in the Project Media Bin. Hence, what I would do is open a second instance of Vegas, place all the media needing the FX on the timeline. Apply the media via Paste Media Attributes as wjauch described above. Save this file as something like MyMedia.veg and work from that instead of the Project Media bin.

But my favorite way is to apply the FX at the Track Level. Now any media placed on that track will take on the FX attributes.

Well Vegasaur was already mentioned. It has various ways of applying audio and/or video FX to media and/or tracks.

Another way could just be, if you do not want to spend 100 usd on vegasaur, just make filter chains presets for tracks. But maybe i did not understood the question that correctly.

Agree with Vegasaur. After several years of not getting it, I finally broke down and got it because @Kinvermark kept recommending it. I see now why.
