Do you want to apply the color overlay to multiple visuals at once instead of doing this scene by scene? Here’s how you can do it:

First off, ensure you have applied the color overlay to a visual or element on the viewport. Here's how to apply the color overlay.

To Copy and Paste the Overlay on a Single Visual:

  1. Click the ‘Copy overlay style’ button.

2. Go to the scene with the visual where you want to paste the overlay.

3. Select the visual in that scene and press Cmd/Ctrl + V to paste the overlay onto the visual.

4. The overlay will be applied to the visual, and you can proceed with your video editing as needed.

To Copy and Paste the Overlay on Multiple Visuals:

  1. Click the ‘Bulk apply’ button.

  2. A second bar will open, allowing you to choose which visuals to apply the overlay to.

3. In the first dropdown, select one of the following options:

  • All visuals - Applies the overlay to all visuals.

  • Background visuals - Applies the overlay only to background visuals.

  • Visual layers - Applies the overlay only to visuals that are added as layers.

4. In the second dropdown, select one of the following options:

  • All scenes - Applies the overlay to the selection in all scenes.

  • This scene - Applies the overlay to the selection in the current scene only.

5. The overlay will be applied to your selection, and you can proceed with your video editing as needed.
