Tips on using Apply to All to modify multiple clips quickly in PowerDirector

[@byhark1]

I had not used this feature on previous revisions of Power DIrector, but having watched this tutorial, I can see where this re-update can be beneficial to me forward going... Thank you, Jim...

You are very welcome. Glad to highlight this feature. --Jim

Good to see that feature back. For me, i rarely have a need for "apply to all", but rather need a "apply to selected" clips. For example, my videos often incorporate clups from several cameras. I may want to adjust all my drone shots, but not my go-pro shots. I have been using 'copy clip attributes ' but find i have to check each one....due to trust issues!

I'm with you. The application of some of these changes universally can have bad unexpected consequences. --Jim

The key to doing this is Jim stating the "Apply to All" applies to all of the clips in the timeline. And to make it clearer "Apply to All" only affects all clips in the track for the clip being edited, other tracks remain unaffected. So in your case create a track for each camera (Cam1, Cam2, Cam3, GoPro, and drone), place the clips in the associated track for that camera, edit one of the clips , and click "Apply to All" to only have those changes replicated to the other clips on the same track. Alternately you can put all clips on the same track, hold down the Ctrl key., click on the clips you want to apply the same changes to, click on Edit, and make your "Edit"s. The edits will be replicated to all of the clips selected. And I just tried selecting multiple clips on different tracks and the edits were made to all of the selected clips.

​@@mark_barrentinewow! Those are both great tips. The second one would be the most flexible. Thanks!!

[@SharperTurtle]

Great tips, Mark. Thanks! --Jim

Argh!!! They still won't allow me to change video speed on a group of videos all at the same time!! Thanks for sharing!

[@SharperTurtle]

I hope the developers continue to look for ways to incorporate more options than the ones I was able to highlight. --Jim

[@WiljanWiljan]

great explanation, thanks

[@SharperTurtle]

You are welcome. --Jim

Thanks Jim! I remember working on a project before they put that back and was just mistified?

[@SharperTurtle]

A huge number of users were puzzled as to why they would remove this feature. I'm glad Cyberlink made an effort to restore it. --Jim

Hi Jim I'm looking for the thing that says thanks where you can contribute to your channel but I don't see it. Keith
