It sounds like the suggestion of using an effect template would give you
the old effect behavior that you're looking for, with no extra
keystrokes required once you've set it up.
1. Drag a 3D warp onto any random clip, and set keyframes at the head
and tail.
2. Create a bin called something like "FX-with-keyframes", and with the
effect you just created, drag the effect icon from the effect editor
into your new bin. Rename the effect in your bin if you want to jog
your memory, something like "3D warp with head and tail keyframes"
3. As long as you keep that bin open, it will show up as a category at
the bottom of your effect palette. So any time you want a 3D warp, drag
it out of your "FX-with-keyframes" bin in the effect palette, instead of
out of the Blend category. No extra keystrokes, but you get the head
and tail keyframes you want.
4. And of course, if you want to effect multiple clips, select them in
your timeline and double-click the effect template in your
"FX-with-keyframes" bin to apply it to all the selected clips at once,
with head/tail keyframes already added.
