The most common use of an adjustment layer is when you want to apply effects to multiple clips at once. This can be useful in two key scenarios:

  • Horizontally on the timeline: Applying an effect across multiple clips without adjusting each one individually.
  • Vertically across tracks: Affecting all clips beneath the adjustment layer on different tracks.


Using adjustment layers can save time and maintain consistency when applying effects like color grading, blurs, or other visual adjustments.

You probably dont need an adjustment layer, but say you want to apply the same color correction across all clips on the timeline, (even if they came from the same long file, but you made cuts in there it is assumed.), then you can apply that color correction to all the clips using a a single adjustment layer.

That means if it is a single layer in timeline it does not matter whether effect placed on the adjustment layer or not.
