IX Applying Filters Across Multiple Tracks at Once When working with multiple layers of video or audio in the Timeline, if you want to apply a filter to a clip or region on one track, you may want the filter to apply to the clips below and above it as well. You can make this happen automatically by first enabling Auto Select on all the tracks to which you want the filter applied. While you can also apply filters to multiple clips by selecting them and then dragging a filter from the Effects tab in the Browser, the Auto Select method has two advantages: You don't have to select any clips, and you have the option of applying a filter to an In and Out region instead of whole clips. To apply a filter across more than one track: 1 In the Timeline, enable Auto Select on all the tracks to which you want the filter to be applied. Auto Select controls 2 Do either of the following: Â If you want the filter to apply to whole clips: Position the playhead over those clips. Â If you want the filter to apply to a specific region rather than whole clips: Set In and Out points to auto-select the region. Important: Make sure that no clips are selected, as the Auto Select feature doesn't work if a clip is selected. 3 Choose the filter from the Effects menu.
