If you're at all like me, you are now repairing your old projects with the knowledge from some of BillyBoy's tutorials (and perhaps throwing in a bit of 3D LE and breaking glass as well). Setting up 5 or 6 filters and fine-tuning them, you wish you had all the similar shots on a separate track so you could have done it on track level, saving a lot of time. Like me, you should have been doing something else with that time.
Well, there's hope for us. If you don't want to split the project up so that similar takes are on separate tracks, you can save the filter combinations and settings as an FX package and re-use it on any event you choose. Here's what you do:
- Do the first event.
- While in video event FX, click on the plug-in chain button (the one that is strangly marked with an image that looks like a dinghy seen from above, oars sticking out - what were they thinking about?).
- The plug-in chooser window opens. Click on Save As and give the package a descriptive name so you'll remember what it does.
- When you attach that package to another event you'll get the same filters and settings there.
- Do the same again for other series of shots that need very different settings.
