Gang/Group Fx to clips?

This would be useful: is there any way to group a set of clips on a track so that you can apply one fx chain to all of them?

You could do this by moving the clips to their own track, and then using the track's fx chain to hit all of them, but in this case it would be easier to just group clips (I have a collection of shots taken with different cameras).

Any ideas?

Unless I'm missing something--select and copy an event with desired effects, then select events you want to apply the effects to, and finally right-click and Paste Event Attributes.

Copy/Paste Attributes does what you want but it will ADD the effects to whatever is already applied to each event which receives the pasted attributes. This can lead to duplicate fX.

A better way to do this which avoids the problems is to use a script. There are several commercial scripts as well as some free ones that will let you apply an effect (or multiple effects) to events and with the option of either replacing all effects already present, or else adding to the ones already there.

Depends upon which version you use. Just did a quick test. For V10e, it does "add". However, for V12-670, it "replaces". You might want to confirm for whatever version you're using.

You mention different cameras, do you mean that you want to CC all clips from each cam?
If so,
After syncing your project, Copy (control-C) with the Marquee tool, each of your different cam tracks and Paste them into another instance of Vegas and save each cam as a Project.
Then drag each of the .veg files back into your Multicam project (each being a nested veg).
You can then CC each camera(project) with one chain of Media FX in the Bin.

Thanks for the tips -- the copy-and-paste method sounds the closest to what I was hoping for. Nested projects is a good workaround, but more complicated than I need for this otherwise simple project.

Thanks!
