In most cases, you apply filters to individual clips in sequences, not to master clips in
the Browser. There may be occasions where you want every instance of a master clip
edited into a sequence to have the same filter applied, such as color correction. In this
case, apply the color correction filter to the master clip in the Browser. However, filters
applied to clips are still independent of each other. If you modify the filter parameters
for a master clip, the same filter parameters in affiliate clips are not modified.
∏
Tip: To maintain consistent filter settings across multiple clips, you can copy and paste
filter settings using the Paste Attributes command.
