Apply an effect preset

You can apply an effect preset containing settings for one or more effects to any clip in a sequence.

 In the Effects panel, expand the Presets bin, and do one of the following:

  • Drag the effect preset onto the clip in a Timeline panel.

  • Select the clip in a Timeline panel, and then drag the effect preset into the Effect Controls panel.

If you dragged the preset onto the clip in a Timeline panel the drop destination is determined as follows:

  • If the Timeline has no clips selected, then the preset is applied to the clip targeted by the drop.

  • If the Timeline has clips selected, but the clip targeted by the drop is not part of that selection, then the selected clips are deselected. The targeted clip and any linked track items become selected. The preset is applied to the targeted clip and linked track items.

  • If the Timeline has clips selected, and the clip targeted by the drop is part of that selection, then the preset is applied to all selected clips. The preset does not affect linked clips that are not selected.

If you dragged the preset into the Effect Controls panel the drop destination is determined as follows:

  • If the destination contains only a video track item, then the audio effects in the preset are ignored.

  • If the destination contains only an audio track item, then the video effects in the preset are ignored.

  • If the destination contains both video and audio track items, and you insert the preset into one of the audio tracks, then the audio effects are inserted at the targeted position. The video effects are appended to the end of the effects list for the video track item.

  • If the destination contains both video and audio track items, and you insert the preset into the video track, then the video effects are inserted at the targeted position. The audio effects are appended to the end of the effects for each linked audio track item.
