Duplicate and Bulk Update Effects

Duplicating and bulk updating effects streamlines your video editing workflow, allowing you to quickly reuse visual elements and synchronize their properties or timing. This process helps maintain consistency, saves time, and ensures that multiple effects can be managed efficiently.
These features are especially useful when you want to apply the same style or timing to several effects without manually editing each one.

Duplicate an Effect

To duplicate effects

Navigate to the Effects tab.
The list of existing effects appears.
Locate the effect you want to duplicate and click the kebab menu (three dots) next to the effect.
The menu options for the effect are displayed.
Select Duplicate from the menu.
A new effect is created with the same start and end times as the original.
Note: This allows you to quickly copy an effect without recreating it from scratch.
(Alternative) Duplicate an effect directly from the timeline by clicking the kebab menu on the effect pill and choosing Duplicate.
The duplicated effect appears on the timeline with identical timing.
Reposition the new effect as needed.
The effect can be moved to a different spot in the video.
Click Apply to save the changes.
The duplicated effect is now active at the new position.

Bulk Edit Effects

To bulk update multiple effects at once, for example to set the same start and end time for a Zoom and a rectangle effect.
a. Click Bulk Actions and select the rectangle and the zoom effect.

b. Click Edit.
The full timeline for all selected effects appears, showing rectangles and zoom.
Drag the timelines of the selected effects to align their start and end points as desired.
The effects are now synchronized to play together.
Click Apply to confirm the changes.
All selected effects are updated.
(Optional) Bulk edit properties for similar effects, such as rectangles.
a. Select multiple rectangle effects.
b. Adjust properties like stroke color, opacity, and animation settings.
You can update several properties for all selected effects at once.
Click Apply to update all selected effects.
The changes are saved and visible when you play the video.
