For Sonic's Design Team -- A Suggestion

This is by no means my own idea -- someone over at creativecow.net's Vegas forum suggested it -- but we'd all love it if you could save an effects chain for later use, sort of like creating your own plug-in.

Just a note to any of you who're reading :)

p.s. And if you can already do this, but we're missing it -- how?

Here's how to make and save an FX package (video in this case, same for audio):

1) Pop the fx button on a track (or media, or video event event, or bus, or video preview/output,)

2) Load the fx you want, reorder them however you want, adjust the parameters of each.

3) While still in the fx page, push the fx button at the upper right-
the plug-in chooser window pops up- click save as and give a name to the plug-in package you want to save.

These packages get saved to a packages folder- each package contains the fx chain (in order) plus fx settings, for easy recall.

Thanks -- after writing my post I figured it out -- only too late :)

Is there a (relatively easy) way to export these packages and share them with other users?

Thanks again,

You'll have to hunt down the folder on your HD to find where Vegas stores them. (FYI-They have really weird names.) Then, you can copy them to a floppy.

SURE WISH SF WOULD GIVE THE OPTION TO 'SAVE AS' TO A DESTINATION OF our CHOICE!!!!!!!!
