ThreadText: # Why Doesn't Compound Clip With Effect in One Project Still Have Effect When Placed in Another Project?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2019-04-12)
  
  In project **A** I have grouped a number of clips into a compound clip called **c1**. While in project **A** I've added to the compound clip (e.g. so it affects the entire compound clip) a *color board* effect and some *transformation* adjustments.
  
  Then when I go into project **B** and insert compound clip **c1** it does not have the effect or transformation adjustments.
  
  Is there a way for the adjustments I've made in project **A** to transfer over to project **B**? I have something like 200 compound clips along these lines that need to get reassembled in another project, and I don't want to lose all those adjustments.
  
  Finally, is there anything else that doesn't transfer over I should be aware of?

  It looks like you duplicated your project as a snapshot. Taking a snapshot of a project will duplicate the whole project but also a separate copy of the compound clips within a project. This way you can change anything on a compound clip in Project A, and it won't effect project B.
