@jetdv Can you help me Edward? I'm struggling to find out how to change the preset of a Titles and Text media event. I've watched your tutorial about changing parameters but this doesn't help me with the preset. Can it be done? If so, can you give me some clue as to how to do it?
Thanks in advance.

@Jack S Once you have the effect, you might try something like:

                    VideoEvent vevnt = (VideoEvent)evnt;
                    Effect gEffect = vevnt.ActiveTake.Media.Generator;
                    gEffect.Preset = "Preset Name";

Presets can actually be changed for all effects/generated media whether or not they are OFX. OFX added the ability to change the individual parameters.

@Jack S There is some titles and text scripting you can have a look at in my script for speech to text :

Have fun with it!

@bitman, your script changes the parameters directly as shown in my tutorials which he already referenced. However, he was wanting to pick an actual preset which is done at the effect level, not the OFX parameter level.

@Jack S, Glad I could help.
