Is there any way to add multiple presets?

Hello! I've been using Vegas Pro for quite a long time. And I like the "save as presets" features that included with Vegas since the older version. But there something problem with it. I can't place in 2 or even more presets on a single video. Well let say you created a superb colour grading with colour curve, brightness/contrast and HSL,and you save it as a presets for you to use it on a different projects. But if you have another Presets and you wanted to combine both Presets it just wont work? It will replace the presets you already placed on that video.

So is there any way for me to add multiple presets without replacing it?

Add more than one instance of the FX and apply one preset to each instance?

If by "preset" you mean an "FX Package" (or "FX Chain") — adding an FX Package will always delete all existing FX. I'm not aware of an internal process to avoid this.

Maybe Vegasaur offers a solution.

This "nesting" workaround may accomplish what you want, although the amount of work and potential hassle may make it more trouble than it's worth.

1) Create a project and apply your presets at the track level.

2) Use this project as a starter project and add a media file to the timeline.

3) Save As a Vegas project with the same name as your media.

4) Insert or replace each media on the timeline of a master project with the newly created Vegas project containing the same media plus presets.

I use this method for animated graphics where the data changes but the source is always cropped and appears on the screen in the same way each time. It is tedious, but slightly less tedious and more accurate than doing each graphic in Photoshop one at a time.
