Error Msg -- File not saved: Plug-In Package ??

Working on a project today.

On an event, I modified the Pan/Crop and added "Deform" to fix a slightly off-center camera.

When Saving the Plug-In Chain as a Filter Package, an error box came up saying "File not saved: Plug-In Package" (and the chain didn't save in "Filter Packages").

What would cause this and how to fix?

V23 Build 302

Vegas 21.300

@RedRob-CandlelightProdctns See my answer here: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/fx-plugin-chooser-presets-can-t-be-deleted-or-renamed-vegas-23--150526/#ca947125

Meanwhile, the FX chain presets created by VP23 no longer supports DXT video FX (such as those FX that look very old).

Deform is a DXT plugin, so it cannot be saved by the FX chain feature of VP23.

I think an alternative method is to add it to an adjustment event and when you need it, open the old project containing the adjustment event and copy & paste it into the new project.

I'm not very fond of the FX chain feature of VP23 and hope Magix will change it back.
