Say I add some standard effects -glow, black and white, gaussion blur, on a clip, can I save them into 1 effect so that I can re-call them anytime I want for any projects?
I am aware of the "paste properties attr.", but that only goes so far.
Look at the your "chain" of effects, just above Preset Bar. To the far left you will see a "chain" icon. Click on that, bring up the "Plug-In Chooser" click on "Save As . . ", give it a name and click OK!
Yes. You open the plug in chain like you're going to add another effect and then click on "Save As...". This will save the entire chain of effects and the entire chain can later be added to other events.
