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)
Would be amazing ! It is insane to think that it is not already implemented. Do Adobe even use their own software ?… Nah I’m just nagging you. Having the feature would be insane, though. Keep up the good work !
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.
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
I would like to emphasize that it is necessary to preserve the possibility of an adjustment layer in its current state and introduce an adjustment layer specifically affecting the track below. Because sometimes it is convenient to work, as it is now - to influence all the layers below on the timeline. But, very often it is necessary to apply an adjustment layer specifically to one video sequence located under it. As on the principle of Photoshop. That would be impressive.
I'm not a regular user of Premier but I am an expert in photoshop, I can't understand why something so simple in photoshop is not implemented in Premier, it's ridiculously absurd.
Does this not already exist for color correction? All you have to do is add an adjustment layer above your clips in the timeline and it will affect everything below it.
John, "adjustment layers affect all the tracks below them" is literally the issue this suggestion is trying to address. There are many situations where it would be useful for an effect to apply to everything on a track, but none of the tracks below it. Color correcting multicam cameras is one, I'm particularly interested in it for reframing graphics, but I'm sure there are many other situations where being able to apply effects to an entire track would come in handy.
Exactly as Dominic says. For example, I am interested in masking a clip, but only the clip on a specific track, but the mask is applied to all videos on all tracks. In Photoshop you can apply an adjustment to all layers or just to the next layer below the adjustment. This last detail is what we request to be implemented in Premiere.
