I’m looking to play one long video and as I hit the pads in the drum rack it triggers different effects like colour overlay or vibrating blur etc. I’m not sure what would be the ideal way to go about this, I think the heart of the question is can eFX on one track be sent to another track?
Very interesting question, there are a few ways of doing it depending on personal priorities.
There was a discussion on facebook group recently on doing that in a very efficient way(having a bunch of eFX and then turning them on/off using a controller/another device etc), have a look here:
Slightly less efficient way would be to use eSyphon to route the video between tracks:
track 1: eClips+eSyphonOut
track 2: eSyphonIn + eFX
track 3: eSyphonIn + eFX
track 4: eSyphonIn + eFX
…
Next step would be to mute tracks 2-4, that should also be efficient(if a track is muted then it’s eFX should not be processed).
hope this helps and have fun with the EboSuite!

Indeed, there can only be one ‘stack’ of eFX on a track (the issue of adding chains the way it is done with audio is quite complex). You can however automate the on/off state of an effect in an audio or midi clip. You can also group fx and turn the whole group on and off with automation or midi mapping.
I hope this helps
