You want a multilayer effect vs. a segment effect. Picture in Picture, 3D warp and Titles are examples of this.
"2) Is there a way to apply all 3 effects at once, or even better to a range?"
You need to "Nest" the effects to add three to the shot. This is done by holding down a modifier key (alt or option) as you drag additional effects to the shot.
For applying across a range, you either use "Add Edits" on an upper track and drop the effect on the empty area.
Or shift select all the shots you want while in effects mode and then double click the effect you want to apply, this only works for one effect, not stacking.
Or select all the shots, and while holding the option or alt key, double click on the effect you want and that will create a :nest" with all the shots inside and the effect on top of all of them. It's essentially the same thing as the first method above but keeps it all in one track in the timeline.
for Sapphire specifically, I highly recommend the free Sapphire for Avid book found here:
