Since it was all shot in one long file, literally every one of these interview clips needs the same correction. You decide you need some color grading and correction on all of it. Everything looks great except that as you review your work you realize that although the clips tell the story beautifully, they don’t don’t look as visually stunning as you’d like them to. You go through the footage, and out of the two-hour file, you trim out all the best clips that tell your story perfectly and add them to your timeline. Say you shot an interview continuously for two hours and now you have to edit down into a 30-minute spot. OK! With the obvious ones out of the way, let’s talk about a couple of methods that many users never explore, and learn why you might want to make them part of your workflow. If you’ve applied the effect to 50 individual clip events, you have to go back to each one and make the adjustments-that could get time consuming! On the other hand, if you apply the effect at the track level, you can change it once and it updates the effect on all clip events on that track. As you create the 51st, it suddenly occurs to you that you don’t like the blur you added and you want to tweak the parameters a bit. Beyond that, and maybe even more importantly, say you have 50 of these events on your track. This spares you the trouble of applying that blur independently to each individual clip event on that track. Add a filter or effect to the track to apply it to every clip event on that track. You can apply a blur effect to a track and then any video you add to that track throughout the length of your project becomes blurred according to your plug-in settings.

For instance, say you have a series of title sequences and under each title, you will have video, but you want that video to always be blurred so that it doesn’t detract too much from the title.
When you apply an effect on the track level, the effect acts upon every clip event you put on that track. The next most obvious method, in which you add the effect to an entire track, gives you a tool for spreading an effect across a much broader range of clip events in your project. The first and maybe most common place to apply video effects is on individual clip events. Of course, nothing stops you from adding that same lens flare to any other clip event in your project, but you pick and choose on a very granular level. With this technique, you target a very specific piece of your project. You can think of this as the most surgical method.
You can add the flare to the one clip event that holds that piece of media and it will affect only that one event. For instance, maybe you have one shot that you think would really benefit from a lens flare.
This technique works perfectly for those times when you have an effect you want to apply to just one specific piece of video in your timeline. Most users with even minimal experience in VEGAS know that you can apply video effects to each and every video timeline clip event, as in Figure 1. We might as well start with the easy one. Most people can easily name two, and some are fairly quick to name three, but don’t feel bad if you don’t get all four, because you’re not alone! Let’s take a look at video FX in VEGAS so that you have a complete understanding of the best place to apply an effect based on the result you’re after.
