Sony Vegas Pro 8 - Adding VideoFX to many video clips at once.

[jnaizer]

I have hundreds of video clips in a project, yet it seems the only way I can add VideoFX (such as color correction, etc.) is one at a time. The changes don't stick when I adjust the variable settings after highlighting a bunch of clips and dropping a video effect on them.

Though I can sometimes add an effect to several clips using only the default effect setting. I can't adjust the important varible settings on the many clips at once. Though this is very simple to do in versions of Pinnacle Studio.

Is there a way to add one type of effect to lots of clips at once and adjust mass variable settings (such as contrast levels, brightness levels, etc.) at once too? Instead of one by one for each clip?

Thanks!

If you all your clips are on a single time line (track) then you can add the effects as Track FX. This will apply across any clip on the track at the time, or added to the track later on. If you have multiple tracks, set up one the way you want it, then save the chain as a package so you can load it onto other tracks.

^ I second that. Making good use of effects chains is a HUGE timesaver.
