pasting filters

Serena wrote on 6/24/2007, 12:06 AM

Having configured filters (such as levels and colour correction) is there a way to copy and paste them to other clips? So far I've just saved them and then applied them as appropriate, but it would be a lot quicker to just copy and paste. And yes, ummmm.... I haven't checked the manual to discover whether I should know this already!

Serena - Ctl C to copy the event to which the filters have been applied ....
Then Right click the "receiving" event and select Paste Event Attributes.

This can be done to several at once, e.g. by selecting events to end

One caveat - this will ADD to whatever FX are already on the receiving clip(s), rather than treplacing the FX.

Ahh..... but if you save the fx you want as an fx chain(filter package) then add that by clicking on your fx icon, it will Replace any effects w only the ones in the chain.
jUst an Xtra FYI....

PLUS, if you HAVEN'T that project open, and IF you have saved them as a "Serena-Chain" you can drag and plop them onto any event in any project in the future by accessing them from within Plugin-Manager > Plugins > Video > FX > Filter Packages. This makes unnecessary the requirement to find an Event WITH that FX to do the Copy>Paste Attribute. I use both methods!
