SUMMARY After making a custom effect (stack) with only White Balance and Exposure effects, I'm unable to add them to entire clips in the Project Bin or to the Master track (I can add them to individual tracks and clips inside the timeline). I was greatly hoping to add these custom effects to *just* the clips as I have many sliced clips in the timeline from a single original clip and this would save a good bit of time (140 files vs 400+ timeline clips). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a project and import a few clips into the Project Bin. 2. Select a clip in the bin and add a White Balance and Exposure effect to it. 3. Click the "Save Effect Stack..." button in the Effect Stack and give it a name. 4. Select another clip in the project bin and drag & drop or double click the newly created custom effect from the Effects panel. (Or select the Mast Effect Stack and attempt to add the custom effect there.) OBSERVED RESULT An error pops up in the bottom status bar that states "Cannot add effect to clip" EXPECTED RESULT The effects should be added to the effect stack for the project bin clip or master track. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 11
I can confirm the issue following your steps. Custom effects can only be applied to picture in the project bin but not to video clips.

Thanks, it’s fixed. Now I can drop custom effects on clips in the project bin or on master effect.
