How can you apply a global look to multiple clips efficiently?

• A. Create an Adjustment Layer on top of all clips and apply a Lumetri Color effect to that layer.
• B. Apply the Lumetri Color effect to each clip individually.
• C. Export a LUT and apply it to the project settings.
• D. Color grade only the first clip and copy to others.

Answer: (A)

Using an adjustment layer is a fast way to apply a single look across many clips because any effects placed on that layer affect all clips beneath it in the timeline. Add a new adjustment layer above your clips, extend it across the sequence, and apply a Lumetri Color effect to that layer. Adjusting the color grade on this layer sets a consistent baseline for every clip in that section, so you don’t have to apply the same grading to each clip individually. If you need to tweak a single clip, you can still add a Lumetri Color effect on that clip (above the adjustment layer) to fine-tune only that clip without changing the rest. This approach saves time and maintains consistency across your edit.
