Speed up your workflow in Avid Express Pro
A fast and efficient editor is what we all strive to become. If you have ever had an effect that you wanted to apply to multiple segements in your timeline you know how repetitive and time-consuming it can be to apply them one at a time. The most common effect to apply in Avid Express Pro would have to be color-correction. Well, here is a quick and easy way to apply your favorite effect to multiple segments in one easy swoop:
To apply an effect to multiple segments on the same video layer:
- Click above the Timeline and to the left of the leftmost segment that you want to select, and begin dragging to the right and down to activate a selection box.
- Continue to drag the selection box to the right until you lasso the rightness segment that you want to select.
- Release the mouse button.
- If the segments where you want to apply the effect are not contiguous, Shift+click a segment to deselect it. You can also Shift+click to add one or more segments.
- Open the Effect Palette.
- Double-click the effect's icon that you want to apply to the segments.
Now go out and have fun with all of your extra time!
