Change attributes for multiple items

Post by RDK45 »

Folks.....Is it possible to change properties/attributes for several items with one command. For example, photo duration for a set of selected photos from 5 sec to 6 sec. Or to set/change the color correction on a series of clips.

I've resurrected several old projects and doing it all one at a time is getting old.

Thanks.....RDK

ps...I'm running VS Pro X7....

Yes but the two you have selected require different procedures

for photo duration - left click on the first photo - go to the last one and hold down shift as you left click on it - all selected. RIGHT click over the block and select "Change Photo duration" - what ever you set there applies to all images.


for colour correction - apply filters to first image - RIGHT click choose "Copy attributes" - - left click on second image go to last photo and hold down shift as you left click on it - all except first selected - Right click over black choose "paste attributes" - should apply to all

Brian...Thanks for the reply. I though I tried your method for the photos, but I try again.

I've never used the filters for color correction, only the color correction option in the attributes section. I'll have to look more closely at the filters. Last time I went there I was overwhelmed by the shear number of filters. Any recommendations on which one is best for correcting white balance on old videos?

Thanks....RDK

The same process will work if you use the colour correction in the 'Options' panel - don't use filters if you are happy with the result from the attributes panel
