In this case, use Animate feature to dynamically change parameters of applied FX ("Brightness Amount", in this case). Also, managing cross-track crossfades is often a difficult to accomplish.Īlso, You can't partially apply an FX this way, e.g., Brightness +10 is always Brightness +10, there's no way to set its opacity=50% (effectively to Brightness +5). Modify it freely and you don't need to re-apply it.Ĭons: Usually, you will have to cut through the tracks carefully because it's impossible to add a non-FX track in between two child tracks.

Make sure all Video Events that need to have an FX stay on a separate Video Track, so that the track contains only events that do need the FX.

I use a pretty simple technique to automate it. You cut your video into a sequence of scenes ( Video Events), and you find it boring to apply FX to all/several indoor events, especially if they are cut into many places across your video. And you notice that indoor parts require brightness/saturation adjustment. Say, you have a video that has indoor and outdoor scenes, and also some other tracks.
