applying NV to a large number of clips in after effects

Hi--

I'm working on a project with 180+ footage items in it. Is there a way to apply Neat Video with the camera profile and other settings in place? It looks like I have to open each clip and set the camera profile individually.

thanks!

You can setup the filter for one of the clips and then copy&paste the filter effect from this clip to the other clips.

Hope this helps.

when I do that, I get the filter template but it's not actually doing anything until I open the "options", choose my camera profile, and apply (F9)

Strange, when I do that, it works correctly. Please make sure you save the project after setting up NV for the first clip. Then select the clip name and copy, then paste to another clip.

BTW, which version of AE is it?

Thank you,
Vlad

Eureka!

The problem is that if I copy the "reduce noise" effect from the effect control window, pasting doesn't carry the settings.

But if I expand effects in the timeline and copy from there, it carries the camera profile and filter settings. (saving first does not seem to be necessary)

After Effects 6.5

Thanks for your help!

Yes, I also copied the effect in the timeline window. Will check the other way.

This still appears to be a problem with NV 2.0. (i.e., copying effects from effects panel doesn't copy settings). Should it have been fixed?

Thanks!

This seems to be a feature (or bug) of AE itself (you can check that with the 'basic text' effect available in AE, it will not copy the entered text), so I recommend to copy from the timeline instead of the effect panel.

Hope this helps.

Huh...I hadn't noticed that before with other effects. I probably just haven't run across it. Ok, thanks for the explaination!
