Apply effects to clips
You can apply one or more Standard effects to a clip by dragging effect icons from the Effects panel to a clip in a
Timeline panel. Alternatively, select the clip and drag the effect icon to the Effect Controls panel. You can apply the
same effect multiple times, using different settings each time.
You can apply Standard effects to more than one clip at a time by first selecting all the clips you want to affect.
You can also temporarily disable any effect, which suppresses the effect without removing it, or you can remove the
effect completely.
To view and adjust effects for a selected clip, use the Effect Controls panel. Alternatively, you can view and adjust
effects for a clip in a Timeline panel by expanding its track and selecting the proper viewing options.
By default, when you apply an effect to a clip, the effect is active for the duration of the clip. However, you can make
an effect start and stop at specific times or make the effect more or less intense by using keyframes.

To apply an audio effect, drag the effect to an audio clip or the audio portion of a video clip. You cannot apply audio
effects to a clip when Show Track Volume or Show Track Keyframes is enabled for the Audio track.
If the clip is selected in a Timeline panel, you can drag the effect directly to the Effect Controls panel.

Copy and paste clip effects
You can easily copy and paste effects from one clip to one or more other clips. For example, you can apply identical
color correction to a series of clips shot in similar lighting conditions. You can copy effects from a clip in one track of
a sequence and paste them onto clips in another track. You do not have to target the destination track.
