Adding effects directly to video layers (Audio Track Mixer for Video layers)

Being able to add effects directly to a layer which makes all clips on that layer affected would be a huge time saver.
If you have a multicamera sequence with 3 different cameras where you want to add same grade to all clips on track 1, track 2 and track 3 seperately.

Or even being able to make adjustment layers only affect the clips on the layer directly beneath would also be amazing... (like in photoshop)

Maybe it should work like the audio track mixer. Like a effekt track mixer where you are able to define a grade or an effect for the whole track.

SUPER IDEA.
Guys, thank you for paying attention to this. It would be an amazing opportunity to influence not only all the clips under the adjustment layer, but only specifically the first one standing under it. It's super. LET'S VOTE

Cool, you'd need options to workout the hierachy of FX layering. So you'd have a group FX or Track FX layer in the effects hierachy on each clip and a default/option would be set on the track FX - i.e. a 'render before clip FX' toggle.

An example would be if you had a red giant effect on a single clip, and you wanted that effect to be graded with the track FX. the clip FX needs to be rendered first and the Track FX second. If you wanted to add a red giant effect, but you didnt want it effected by the track grade, it would have to be rendered after the track FX.

I think it would be better if we could group multiple clips and apply grades to groups, the same way you do in DaVinci Resolve.

Vegas does it. You can pull an effect onto a clip or a layer
