How to Remove Master Clip Effects on Hundreds of Clips?

There is another circumstance that forces us to face this problem!

This is the problem of archiving a project using a Project manager. If there is an effect on the master clips (for example, Lumetri) that it consolidates the entire source file into a folder and thus the meaning of this function disappears. This happens even if you disable the Effects applied to the master clips. That is, it is the function of removing the effect from the set of master clips that is needed.

Sadly Ann Bens's answer, while correctly providing a temporary solution, does not actually address the core issue. I too want to find how to REMOVE Master Clip Effects from many clips, not simply disable them.

Here is a necessary use case I think would apply to a lot of people: 

- You load a few dozen clips from a shoot into your new project. The clips were shot on a high end camera in a LOG type color profile that require a lut to view properly. 

- You drop a LUT preset onto all the master clips in the project panel (because going to each clip individually and addressing Lumetri settings is not feasable on so many clips). 

- You start reviewing your clips for the edit, but down the line you notice that maybe that LUT/Preset isn't quite right for all or some of the clips, so you create a new one to be used. HERE IS WHERE THE CRUCIAL PROBLEM ARRISES. 

- How do you apply an updated LUT/Preset to all the clips so they have a proper starting look for your edit? Sure I can "disable" the old presets, but if I add my new preset to that, that one is disabled too. What I need is to be able to REMOVE the Master Clip Effects on all my clips so I can then apply a new master clip effect to all the clips. 

- Currently it appears the only alternative is to go clip-by-clip and delete the current master effect and replace with a new one. This seems like an incredibly common need yet shockingly not addressed by Adobe Premiere. A major headache for what should be a simple issue. 

But if there's an actual answer I'm missing somewhere, I'm all ears! Please help Adobe! 

Thanks community 🙂 

Here's the real answer so you can update your correct answer.

Click on the clip, go to the Effect Controls, and click the "Master" tab all the way to the left.  It's not automatically highlighted.  Then you can access and delete masterclip effects there.

I'm desperately trying to find an answer to this, but in the meantime, I'm using Quickeys ($60) to macro the removal.

Highlight the first clip in the bin manually. Now have Quickeys do the following.

Wait until Window with Save in the name Does Not Exist - This prevents the autosave from borking your macro.

Keystroke Shift O - Opens the clip in the Preview window.

Loop Start (6 times)

Click the location of the Master tab in the Lumetri pane.

Keystroke C - highlights Clear

Keystroke Return - selects Clear

Loop End

Keystroke Shift 1 - jumps to Project pane

Keystroke Down Arrow - Highlights the next clip below the one that was just cleaned.

Assign that to an F-key, on in my case, a button on my Xkeys button doohickey, and then you can rip through your footage pretty fast, removing all of the master filters so your project is totally clean and you can start out fresh. You could automate it to rip through 100 clips with one key press, but I find that when I do that, something happens to make the automation eventually glitch and then you find that you've somehow accidentally made your computer do something bad 100 times, before you can figure out how to stop it, so I usually just do them one clip at a time, pop, pop, pop. When it's working correctly, if the clip has no master filters on it, it will just open and close the Lumetri pulldown, doing nothing.

The menu clicking has to be done by telling Quickeys to click on a specific place on the screen where the menu has to be located. It'll click on that one pixel on the screen every time. Quickeys doesn't really like how Adobe does it's windows, so you can't make it smart enough to find the menu if it's moved or whatever, so make sure you don't move the window or the macro won't work any more.

For some reason, my footage has **FOUR** Lumetri filters stacked up on the Master, with no settings in any of them, plus the AMIRA LUT that you get when you import Arri footage and it's stacked up on every damn clip for all of the thousands of takes for this feature. I'm sure all that garbage is really extending my save times, which seem to get longer and longer as I get the A/V synced up and merged. This macro will remove all of the filters from a clip in under 3 seconds with a single key press.

Here's a shot of my macro steps. Imgur: The magic of the Internet

Edit: I ran the macro on all of my footage and the resulting file size is now less than half of what it was. 53% of my project file was taken up by those damn Lumetri Master clip filters. I have no idea where all of those empty filters came from, but they're gone now.

And how the hell do you RE-ENABLE hundreds of them??

How is there no matching "ENABLE masterclip effects" ??

"Disable" is not "remove"  so this is kinda unanswered. I have thousands of clips with the a LUT on them.  I want to batch delete the LUT and add a new LUT to the master clips

But how do you remove them.  I applied the wrong LUT to hundreds of clips.  I don't want to have to delete one at a time.  I'd like to remove them and reapply.
