Yeah, I've seen that, thanks, I'll give it a try.

I'm sorry, I don't understand this
I'm okay with the 44 (slider bar on each clip, right?) but 'mark all clips' I'm not clear on.
Thanks,

In the timeline, press shift and click on the first and the last clip. This selects them all (they then look blue in the timeline).
Alternatively, just use the menu item "select all".
Then set contrast to 44 - the setting will be applied to all selected clips.

Note: if you use overlays/subtitles, they normally get "selected" together with the clips.
Due to a bug in Studio, they will turn out black if you manipulate contrast. You can prevent selection of these overlays by "locking" the overlay track (click on the big capital T at the left hand side and the track is "locked".
