I want to apply a series of NewBlue effects to a video clip and I'm not sure how to do that. I can easily apply a single effect (like NB Color Fixer Pro) by dragging it to the Effects track. That's now applied and I want to apply another NB effect (like NB Sharpen) to be applied to the same clip. If I try to drag that to the Effects track, it wants to replace the Color Fixer Pro effect with the Sharpen effect, which is NOT what I want to do. How can I insert a chain of effects to apply against a given clip? Appreciate any help.

That's great, thank you. Is it better to drag the effects directly to the clip vs. using the effect track? That seems to provide more control since you can re-adjust the order the effects are applied. If you split this and an effect on the effect track and a set of effects directly on the clip, which is applied first? Are all the clip effects applied first and then the effect track applied or vice-versa? Really appreciate your help.
