Methods of working with video filters in the Inspector:
 To rearrange the order of multiple video filters applied to a clip: Click the move up or
move down buttons in any filter’s title bar, to the left of each filter’s Trash Can button.
 To disable or re-enable a filter: Click the toggle control at the far left of each
filter’s title bar. Orange means that track’s enabled. Gray is disabled.
 To remove a filter: Click the Trash Can button.
 To reset a filter: Click the Reset button at the far right of the filter’s title bar.
 To open or collapse a filter’s parameters: Double-click the title bar.
 To open or collapse the parameters of all filters: Option-click the title bar.
Once applied to a clip, video filters can also be keyframed or automated just like any other
Inspector setting, to create dynamic effects that change over time.
Adjusting Multiple Clips
at the Same Time
There’s an easy way to make adjustments to the Inspector parameters of multiple clips at the
same time, without needing to use Paste Attributes (described later in this chapter). All you
need to do is simultaneously select every clip you want to alter, and then modify the parameter
in the Inspector that you want to change. As a result, every selected clip will be adjusted by the
same amount. This works for compositing effects, transforms, text parameters, filters, and audio
settings, just about anything that can be simultaneously exposed in the Inspector for multiple
selected clips.
When you select multiple clips, the Inspector will display “Multiple Clips” as the title. If each of
the selected clips have different values in the parameter you’re adjusting, that parameter will
have two dashes in the value field. There are two ways you can make adjustments to
multiple clips:
 If you want to make a relative adjustment to all selected clips while keeping their
original offsets from one another, then drag the virtual slider in the parameter field
which will display a + or – before however many units your adjustment is.
 However, if you want to set all selected clips to the same value, you can double-click in
the number field, type the value, and press Return.
