Applying a Certain Effect to EVERYTHING

Typhoon859 · Post by **Typhoon859** » Mon Aug 18, 2008 1:47 am

I'm just trying to sharpen the image of all the clips in my video. Is there a way I can apply it for the whole thing without actually dragging and dropping the "Sharpen" effect and increasing it's intensity to 10 for every single little clip (in Adobe Premiere CS3)? Cause that would take quite a while..

If the only way to do what I have in mind is the long way, then please just say so, lol.

Do it in avisynth by using a sharpening filter.

Read <a href=http://www.a-m-v.org/guides/avtech31/>ErMaC & AbsoluteDestiny's Friendly AMV Guides</a> talks a bit about it under improving video quality.

Oh man, the solution to EVERYTHING is with AVISynth! I'm gunna cry. Everyone seems to know what it is but me. I thought I knew what it was and I have it. Though I don't even know what it is I have. It's some invisible thing that runs somewhere in the background when I do stuff with videos in VirtualDub or something (very intelligent, I know). What is it?!!! [cries] I've only been directed to explanations 50 pages long.

There is a way to do exactly what you want in CS3.

1.) Simply copy the clip with the filters/effects,
2.) then highlight all the clips you want to paste the same filters/effects on
3.) right click on the highlighted clips and pick the option that says "paste attributes".

Then i'd suggest reading up on the links people have been giving you, that's how most learnt to use it.
I was testing it out at the same time as I had a video to use it on step by step and that way it made much more sense to me, however I'm a kinestetic learner (I learn by doing). I still get filtering some horrid footage but that's when i jump up and down for help.

oh and Sayde's response reminds me you can highling all layers/clips in AE and add the sharpen effect to all of them at once too. (I fergot about that)

avisynth, what it is and how to use it - that might narrow it down a bit for you...

and you can do the same thing in Vegas with the highlighting all the clips an apply the same filter, or you can just add it to the entire track if you wish... however for sharpening AVIsynth is definitely the way to go.

Sorry, not sure what you mean. You've been answering all of my questions. Sorry for the trouble. Just when I thought I knew everything. This encoding and editing stuff is a bottomless pit. It's driving me nuts.

Exactly. That's the problem. I'm also a VERY kinestetic learner which is why I'm not understanding this AVISynth shit. Like. I don't even understand what it is. Is it a program? If so, WHERE IS IT?! AAAH!
