Changing brightness, gamma, etc of an entire track after colour correcting the clips on it

I have colour corrected all the clips on my timeline (all on one track). This mix is for Youtube, Tablets and Computers so my Calibrated Monitor is set to Gamma 2.2.

Now, I want to mixdown for TV, so I set my Monitor to Gamma of 2.4. How do I change the gamma of the entire track?

I know I can mix everything down and change the gamma of the new version, but then I am going down a generation and losing some quality (unless I choose uncompressed!).

I have tried Select All and experimented with changing brightness, gamma, etc settings, but this process changes entirely the clip settings to the new slider settings.

I'm sure I read that an entire track can be colour corrected in VPX6, and yes one can do this before adjusting individual clips. But can it be done AFTER adjusting individual clips?

Hi Seamus

You can apply (a number of) adjustments globally by going to the top menu Effects > Movie Effects settings > Selective Brightness (gamma).
