I've kind of touched on it in other videos before. You could do a few things. You could apply your color grade to an adjustment layer that you put on top of all your clips. Or you could grade one clip and hit Cmd C to copy the effects, select all of the other clips and hit Cmd Shift V to paste those attributes to other clips. Hope that helps! 😄🤞🏼

It might not be compatible with your version of FCP. I'd recommend watching my How to Fix the RED “Plugin Not Working” Error video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/enyM2ZShj6nPoZc.html That will probably help you to solve the problem.

The Tilde Key doesn't exist for AZERTY French keyboard (I can create the character by pressing option + N : ~ ... that's all) I've tried to find "override connections" in the command editor but I don't know where to find it (as my FCPX is in French). Even if I use the search tool, "override connections" or "~", there is nothing showing-up. Hope your future video will help your fellow French guys The only solution found is a to tinker a little bit. I have to lift the main clip from Storyline so the connections are transferred to the Blank clip 😩
