I have a common set of effects and transitons that I use constantly but am getting tired of constantly scrolling back and forth to locate them. Is there a better method to store and retrieve my favorite effects?
Add your effects in the chain as usual - and click on "save as" before you close the plug-in chooser. This will let you save your fav chains (which could be a single effect) with your custom name..
. . and then drag them from the Plugin Chooser/Manager Pane.
I have a completely separate Vegas "Windows Layout Scheme" that is solely responsible for executing Colour Grading and Colour Correction This has my scopes and LARGE Preview PLUS my Plugin Chooser/Manager. Within this is a simple folder "Tree" that displays in Alphabetical order masses of C-Gradings and so on. Now my Look-N-Feel options are literally only a DRAG away.
