Any way of saving all my Video FX????

I have been wondering for a while where on earth(or on my hard drive) all the Video FX patches that I am coming up with are saved? After coming up with numerous cool FX settings for curves, col correction, gradient maps, etc and saving them to Vegas, I would like to back these up and/or transport them to another computer running Vegas.
Aside from creating a dummy project with generated media and using all my FX patches in this, I can't think of another way. I have looked in the Vegas folder and can see not references to any patches.

Cheers for any ideas!

You have to go into regedit and export the settings. Sorry, it is the only way right now.

If you mean the Fx "packages" :

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DirectShow\Presets\FX Packages]

If you mean the individual effect settings than it is:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DXTransform\Presets]

You need to

1> Export those reg trees and save.
2> Copy all the named files. (i.e - all files under 'Vegas 4.0\Presets\' and 'Vegas 4.0\Presets\FX Packages')
3> Place the files/folders in step "2" into the same location on the other computer.
4> Place the "*.reg" files from step "1" somewhere on the other computer and click on them.

Edit the windows registry

You can put your effects on an FX chain in a project and save the project.

After you can open this project and save each Fx to another computer or if you reinstall on the same computer with the save option on FX properties. This way you can share your Fx with other people.

Thanks for the reply guys...I figure that saving the patches I REALLY need as a filter package is the best way to back up individual FX. A bit laborious, but anything to avoid tampering with the registry! C'mon Sofo, surely there is a better way?
