Hi, I have several clips I want to add the same effects to using vegas effects, but it will only allow me to select one clip at a time. Is there any way to do this selecting multiple clips? Thanks
If I select more than one event on the timeline I can drag an effect to the first selected and that effect will be added to all selected ones.
The same you can do with "clips" in the Project Media tab.
I think he means sending the clips to Vegas Effects. This actually can send only one clip at a time.

Yes I do mean this - is the general workflow to add the effects first, then edit after? - just because its quite time consuming otherwise.
The workflow I learned is most of the time to edit first and adding effects after edit.
You can do copy-paste effects in VEGAS Effects by open the previous project, then right click on the 'layer' that you have FX added, 'Copy', then open the project you are doing with, right click 'Paste Attributes'.
As for importing multiple clips to one VEGAS Effect project - this feature needs to be improved. - but anyway, what you can do is "right click the clips on VEGAS Pro > Edit in VEGAS Effects" one by one (keep VEGAS Effects application opened is ok as VEGAS Effects may notify you that VE application is already run - cannot do multiple instances) - at least you have prepare the *.vegfx file besides your source file. Now in your main VEGAS Effects project, Import>Composite of each source project *.vegFX.
It's the fastest workaround I can find for now... well, at least it work even though not straightforward.
Ahh, I've added the VEGAS effects to each clip and now the effects don't flow correctly over each clip, they reset at each cut. I need to add effects to multiple clips and I'm not quite understanding how my workflow should be to do this.
I'm trying to put clips together over a piece of music. Are you saying that I need to import the clips into VEGAS effects and add the effects to all of at once? Or is it best to edit in VEGAS Pro - render then add the VEGAS effects after. And then put it all together in VEGAS Pro. Or will importing as you have said make this process easier?
I'm sorry I've very lost with this, I'm new to VEGAS Pro (I switched from VEGAS movie studio) and completely new to VEGAS effects.
It's not about fx plug-ins, it's about the Vegas Effects stand-alone tool.
Render these multiple clips together to mp4.
import mp4 to VEGAS Effects, add fx, save as vegfx.
import vegfx to VEGAS Pro.
