Spitting a clip ruins effects?

[kinglerch]

I have never had this problem before, so maybe this is a problem exclusive to NewBlue Effects. I thought that when I used VideoStudio to create effects for a clip (let's say it's 1 minute in length) and after split the clip into two 30 sec clips, that my effects work would be maintained and also split between the clips.

But when I tried this with NewBlue Color Fixer, the first 30 sec clip looked correct. My keyframes were just as I had set them. But the second clip had lost all it's keyframes and in fact was totally in B&W. I couldn't fix this by adding keyframes to the second clip or anything adjustment at all. The only solution was to delete the Color Fixer effect from this second clip, and then redo the effects work.

Is this normal? What assurance is granted by VideoStudio "effects" such that clips can later be split and have this work retained? Otherwise, it should be clear that no one should use these effects until the very end, when all clips have been sized.

I'm not much of a NewBlue effect user, so I cannot say if this is normal or not... but from the description of your problem. It looks like the problem is with the newblue effect will only take effect on the first clip whenever you split a clip. So rather than applying the new blue effect first then split the clip, I would suggest that you try to split your clip first then apply the new blue effect.

That is a potential solution, that all users do all their effects first, then cut clips at the very end. Another solution is that Corel or NewBlue provide an update that fixes an obvious bug.
