Video FX Tab not synchronized with Plugin Chooser

Is there a way the Video FX Tab can synchronize or emulate the Plugin chooser?

1) I would like to see the Video FX Tab having the same subcategories for 3d party FX such as Boris like it is done in the plugin chooser.

2) Some FX's are even missing in the correct folder:

for example :

From the fixes and improvements of V20 build 402/403:

- Smart Mask now properly listed as an AI effect

However, It is still absent from the sub tab Ai/ML (via Video FX tab)...

It is only found via the plugin chooser which I hardly use (I prefer using the video FX tab) or in the general sub tab " all plugins" (via Video FX tab).

Fortunately I can mark it to favorites tab ...

@bitman Hi, I think there's work that can be done in that category, the search in VideoFX window only finds the main fx's, it doesn't find presets, as you'll know many of the Continuum fxs have Beat reactor within them, so to find them i created a preset with Beat in the name, also with Sapphire & NB TotalFX there's so many & some with 'odd' names so i create presets with terms like 'Brightness', The only prob is every time I want search like that I have to select the top fx then put my mic stand on the down arrow on my keyboard so it will scroll down through them all populating some kind of search cache 🤷‍♂️, If Vegas crashes that cache is lost.

Without doing this beat search reveals nothing, after I get this

I'm sure there's people with more fxs then me but here's why i create presets to help narrow the search, about 770 blue items on here.

@bitman Currently that is not possible, but hopefully the developers will fine tune these much needed customization soon in the future..... Another very important part of this i personally wish they address, is the ability to rename your Video filters, similar to how it is easy in renaming your Audio filters.
