I"m sure this is a noob ass question, but I was wondering how the easiest way to apply the same filters, cc, balancing, croping, to multiple clips, a cut and paste kinda thing if you will.
There's a really cool feature where you can save a "chain" of effects (sorry, I forget the terminology, and Vegas is on another machine), and apply it as if it was just one effect -- really speeds up adding the same group of effects to a lot of clips.
Yes. You click the little green cross in the upper right of the effects editor box. You can then save the chain of effects. You give it a name, and you can apply it later.
But for a quick copy within a project, "paste event attributes" is a whole lot quicker.
But if you already have effects on the clip to which you are pasting the event attributes, the effects you are pasting will be ADDED to the effects already there. Not in place of them.
