Applying a Fusion effect to multiple clips

I have a whole series of TIF sequences that I'm trying to see in different coloring using the "Color Corrector" in Fusion. I would like to be able to change them all in one stroke but, I'm unclear whether this is possible or not.

I have tried by copying the attributes of one clip, then when I go to "Paste Attributes" and choosing "Fusion Effects" nothing happens.

I've also tried to highlight multiple clips but of course when you do that, you can't take them all into Fusion at the same time.

I know I could combine them into a Compound Clip but that proves inconvenient when I'm trying different colorings of different combinations of clips.

If you are talking about Resolve Fusion not Fusion studio than it should be something that can be done with adjustment clip. Put if over everything and apply the effect. Also color page I think should be able to copy paste the attributes including fusion if its done on the clip itself.

Hey. It is : use the Fusion Reference Composition option.
Like this at 10 s. :

Sam: I was about to get angry that I'll have to upgrade to do this. (I really don't like to upgrade on new releases.) But then I watched the video, and if I'm understanding her correctly I can already do this. BUT I don't think that method would help. I still have to add a "media in" to then add an effect such a color corrector. So, maybe I"m not understanding this, but I see no way to apply just a color corrector to a bunch of clips directly below the Fusion Comp. What would be my media in other than only one of the clips or a specific set of them? (Although that could do what I'm trying to do, it adds another complication - and another layer of work - that is too complicated to describe here.)

Kruno: I expected someone would tell me to try the color page, and you're absolutely right. The problem is that I have really not spent a whole lot of time learning it, and whenever I do try to do stuff there, I either get hopelessly lost, or manage to do something that looks great, but I can never quite remember how I did it. So, I would like to avoid spending time with that.

The Adjustment Clip is new to me, and I found it and tried it. And that is certainly promising ....BUT.... I quickly discovered that it applies itself to all the tracks below it. What I'm trying to do is make specific and different color changes to different tracks. So it would be useful if I could apply it to just one track below. (Or even better choose how many tracks below it that I want to affect.) Possible?

You can use reference fusion composition, you can use adjustment layer, you can use compound clip for example, if you don't want the first two. You can select all the clips you want to adjust in fusion the same way, and right click, make a compound clip, which essentially creates one clip with them all stitched together, so maybe you can to copy them as a duplicate first for easier way to get back to original. You can always decompose the clip but you will lose the fusion effects, so its good to make a duplicate first before making a compound clip. Once you have made such a clip open it in fusion and apply effect you want to all of them.

If you are interesting in color grading individual clips, I suggest you do it in color page, which as the tools and everything you need to do it quickly, easily and with lot of flexibility. Fusion is not ideal for that that kind work.

In the color page you have access to everything, literally with a click of a button. Middle mouse click is what can be used to copy grades from one clip to the next. Super easy and quick. You have thumbnail view and mini timeline in the color page so you can copy it bellow tracks, above track and anywhere you like. There are all kinds of version and groups you can make for bulk work or versioning. You can create complex and simple node trees and save it as power grade (still) and apply them across projects or timelines or clips. That would be the best appraoch. For compositing work and special tasks , use fusion, for color grading use color page, editing edit page, audio farillight page etc. They are all in the same program.

It is also possible to make fusion macros as DRFX files, which are just packaged fusion macros so they can be used as drag and drop, simplified effects on the edit page. Its extra work to set it up and generally if you are used to fusion its not really needed, but if you want to have fusion like macros on the edit page, it is possible.

I'm exhausted just reading all this, but thank you very much just the same.

I realize that compound clips are probably the way to go, but it just adds some clumsiness to other things I'm doing.

I think in the end I'm just going to have to continue going one by one with each clip for now. And then as I get towards the end of the actual editing, I can combine different ones to fine tune the Fusion work.

I'm really not doing a complex amount of color editing as you might imagine. I'm simply changing the color of the drawn cartoon characters to match changes in music. That's why it's helpful to be able to be as nimble with it as possible because I keep changing my mind as to the color!

Thank you again.
