Ok, I've built quite a few FX packages now. Where can I see the NAME of what package I've applied to an Event? Hmmm?

Grazie

Well if you've rendered it out I guess you're kind of out of luck.
Or have you created a named FX package and you want to see the name of the package?

No, not rendered out. Even I know that ! :) It is what you say, I've created a named FX package and I want to see the name of the package - in the pre-rendered project - or as I said, "I've applied to an Event" . .. yeah?

Grazie

Packages, like presets, are a one-way process. Once you apply them, they are forgotten about and only the FX and their parameters remain. There is no way of know how they got that way.

No JR . . all I'm asking is while I'm still at the Edit stage, where can I see the FX package - one of mine! - that I'm using. Point being is that I may want to use an alternative OR I like the look of what I've done and I want to use it elsewhere . .. It really isn't that complicated, the thing I'm askling. If I've used "Grazie's Colour Correction for Scene 314" I want to know this and then have the option to call it up from my list - again.

But maybe, JR, you are saying that once I use it, even before rendering, I can't get that FX package's name up on screen? Is this true for Sony FXs too? I really do understand that once I've used AND rendered its info has gone - I would have to go to the VEG file - yes? I can find what Trannie I've used; I can find what GenMedia I've used - FXs?

Grazie

Kind of like an FX log file for the veg? Interesting idea. Off to product suggestions page with you! Darryl

I think SF does show you thru the chain manager but maybe that's a leopard with different colored spots?

You misunderstood me. I wasn’t referring to after rendering. Remember how when you apply an effect preset and then click OK, and then open the effects dialog it just says (Untitled) again. You have no way of knowing what preset you applied after you close the dialog. FX Packages are the same way. They are a collection of effects that get applied, but Vegas does not remember that they are a part of a package after that. So there is no way of knowing which package you applied the second after you apply it. It is just several individual effects as far as Vegas is concerned.

JR - " I wasn’t referring to after rendering." . . Oh, ok . . I guess I know that now then :) "You have no way of knowing what preset you applied after you close the dialog.

Thanks for putting me right! Shame, really, we don't get a list of what FXs have been "done" to an event . . Grazie
