Adding Plugins to current plugins ???

Paul_Holmes wrote on 12/1/2002, 9:32 PM
I created a custom color-correction filter package so that I could add it to scenes that already had plugins configured for certain effects. When I try to add my custom plugin to the already existing plugins it erases the original plugins! Bummer. Is there a way around this, or a way to do what I want? There are about 8 short scenes that need color-correction but I don't want to have hand correct every one or go back after using the plugin and redo the special effects. If not I suppose the only solution is to render the scenes then add the custom plug-in.

Hi Paul,

You might try saving the FXs in your package as presets (if you havent already), then add the FXs to your existing chain individually, and select the saved preset for each added FX.

Adding an FX package may wipe your current chain, but adding the individual FX from your custom package might not.

Hope this makes sense...

Thanks, Marty. Absolutely perfect! Worked like a charm and saved me from spending a lot of time on brute force run-arounds. To be honest with you I've been so caught up in plug-in chains since Billy Boys tutorials I forgot all about presets.
