Thread: Media Fx

Well, idk if it has been posted or already. But I don't know what to search for.
I am having trouble with a clip. Everytime I add a media fx to one clip. It adds that media fx to the whole film. And I don't want that. Is there anyway I can have it to where it stays on one clip.. and not all of them.
I am using Sony Vegas 7.0

No worries - that isnt a common question.

At the right end of each clip on the timeline you will see 2 icons. The lower one is the fx bus icon, click that and you are only adding effects to that clip.

Just to expand on Mark's answer a bit, yo can add FX at FOUR different levels:
Event (ie the bit on the timeline - what you want to do)
Media (the whole media - eg avi - not just the bit on the timeline - very useful for applying identical colour correction to the same source media
Track (all events on the track havethe same FX)
Output

Just how flexible is that?

Cool - I didnt know you could do media fx - that is very useful to know - ta.

Well.. that would help.. But what if the clip is like. Super small. Less than a second. If it is small then it wont let me add it because I cant see the icons.

Cant you zoom in enough then? You should be able to.

You really don't need to see the ICON. Just go to the FX Menu/window-pane and DRAG the Fx you want directly ONTO the Event. Done.

BTW, you DO have the Event buttons revealed? Yes? - Ctrl+Shift+C

Grazie

Like so much that is useful in Vegas, Mark, it stares us in the face and we fail to notice it or realise the significance.
