Applying Video Effects

[Tim Morten]

This is just a general use question: Is there a way to change effect settings for more than one clip at once? I use Magic Bullet Looks, and I can group select and drag Looks onto a clip in the timeline to add it as an effect to multiple clips. But there doesn't seem to be a way to change the settings of multiple clips at once. This means that I have to open every single clip one by one, click "Edit", select an effect from the Looks interface, and click okay. This is extremely time consuming, even on a short piece. I can't imagine what it would be like on a feature.

Obviously I could render to a single clip and apply Looks once that way, but I want to be able to retain the ability to grade clips (or otherwise adjust/trim) clips individually later if I so choose, so I don't want to combine into one stream.

Any guidance? This seems like a big interface inefficiency in Premiere, but I'm admittedly new to the interface, so maybe I'm missing something?

Thanks,
Tim

This does not answer your initial question, but you could always grab all of the clips that you want corrected the same way and paste them into a new sequence. Then bring that sequence into your main timeline to replace the old clips. Now you have one single clip that you can apply the effect to, but don't have to render anything.
