Hi
I've already cut my project.
Now all that is left to do is to correct saturation, contrast + equalizer for audio.
I can't believe the only way of doing this is clip by clip.
Many thanks.
YYou can do multiple clips at once or you can do one and copy/paste attributes to others. It depends on the program, but usually video is graded in a clip by clip basis unless the shot repeats.

Thanks, but how do I do it?
For example when I select all clips, and then try to drag "Color Correction"
onto the clips, it highlights only the ONE clip my mouse is over!
I checked the help file, searched the forum, but couldn't find HOW. 😕
You can't look at all the clips at the same time. You can only look at one clip, one frame in fact at a time. You apply the color correction effect to one clip. You adjust the color as you like. You copy the clip, and then select all the other clips you want to apply exactly the same effect to, the same color adjustments of luminance, chroma, and saturation, and you use paste attributes Shift-Cmd-V. That let's you pas that correction to all the other clips.
aside Tom's excellent suggestion, which gives you a better 'per clip' control, you can use an Adjustment Layer.
dl a free one, e.g from Alex Gollner's website,

I'm using it, after all clips are balanced, to apply a general look to the whole project....
Thanks, this works fine, but how can I apply "Graphic Equalizer" to more than one clips?
Just as Tom described, using Paste Attributes.
Thanks, it works with audio too!
Last question: How could I reduce the volume of ALL clips?
After a lot of editing (e.g. Equalizer boosted treble),
many clips are too loud now (yellow/red), so I have to reduce
the "Master volume" somehow.
Select the clips and in the audio inspector reduce the volume. You can also use keyboard shortcuts to raise and lower the volume during playback.

I tried this, but it only worked with some of the selected clips –
those who did NOT already contain volume editing –
the other ones (though selected) were not affected.
Or did I get something wrong?
I Don't know what this means. It works for me on all clips.
Sorry if I couldn't clarify what happend. Here 2 screenshots – before and after:
Here you can see that the clips which already contained volume editing are not or only partly affected.
How can the volume of all clips be reduced?
Sorry, I see what's happening now. Select all the clips and tap control-minus multiple times to lower the volume, control-plus to raise the volume.
Great. Thanks!
Modify saturation, contrast, equalizer for multiple clips
