*.veg files vs preset manager files

Have been playing with posted FX video presets by Grazie over at jetdv.com. Downloaded the Sony preset manager and sorted out the Vegas import, etc. Any thoughts on the comparitive value between a veg file library vs a FX preset file library? The FX presets seem to offer great potential.

Yes of course Edward. My mistake. In particular, look at the "Shared Effects" forum, there's only one post (which got me into this stuff). Whew, HDV, preset managers, it goes on and on. Darryl

Grazie - I'd love to hear an update of your recent Preset Manager exploits.

Last time I tried it, and I think you had the same problem, I could only find audio presets - have you now been able to use it for Vegas, and if so, what was the breakthrough?

cheers

Following the instructions correctly! . .C'mon! Where are all those lovely Presets?

Oh I see. It's a treasure hunt.

And I was hoping to go straight to the jelly and ice cream!

Tomorrow I'll have another look at PM.

'night.

Peter, the "catch" is that video presets will ONLY show up as part of a chain. Of course you can add a SINGLE preset to a chain as well as multiple presets.

Oh yes . .that's the "trick" ! I discovered this after saving chains and expecting to see a preset .. silly me . . and there was me thinking it is called "PRESET MANAGER" for a logical reason . . . uhuh?! . . . should be called "Chain Manager" . .

Grazie

Seems like we're seeing the reasons this option is, well, underutilized. Darryl

Thanks Ed

Darryl is right, this is a much underestimated tool for Vegas.

The combination of .veg with generated media and "drop in your own media as a take" for sharing ideas is already a powerful part of the Vegas "community tools".
The ability to easily share presets will add to this hugely.

Got THAT right Pete! Now yer gonna buy me an Z1 for discovering how to use PM? . . . Yeah guess not? . . .

I've shamelessly posted some of my stuff over at kelly's site .. 9 mins of English Country-side dutring Decemebr .. . PLUS the latest use of ACID Loops downloads .. .

Grazie

Do you think it competes directly with scripting? What an arsenal for Vegas users -- vegs, scripts, and presets. I'm still unclear why we don't see more presets, Darryl
