This one could save you some time when applying the same effect to multiple clips on your timeline.

If your clips are sequential (as in your example), it would be faster to add a new video track then drop the desired effect onto the Filler above the clips.  If you have say four sequential, then another clip that doesn't require the effect, you could do an Add Edit to split the Filler and the effect will only apply to the Filler sections you want.

Your double-click method is a good quick way to put effects onto multiple clips if they are non-sequential. 

Thank you, Kenton.

That's a valuable piece of knowledge to add to the process.
I didn't know about it before.

I looked at the thread you refer to just now.
It was just starting when I was making the tutorial.........
Too bad I hadn't seen it first -  then I could have added more meat to my tutorial

There are some effects that cannot go across filler so its also handy for this situation!

thanks

Can you say specifically which ones?  IIRC, any effect that you can apply to a clip can be applied to Filler.

Douglas,

A similar method is to hold down Alt while double-clicking the effect in the Effect Palette. This will span a single effect across the selected sequential clips.

I'm not experienced enough to tell you why you'd want to span and nest versus adding another video track. Perhaps it's a matter of personal taste, but I imagine there is some rationale as for when to use one method versus the other.

BobbyMurcerFan:

why you'd want to.........

From time to time when I am making a tutorial about something such as the above, I get this feeling.
OK.... you can do it, but why would anyone want to do it?
My own thoughts are - it is can be useful to know that the possibility exists - in case you need it one day.
