Where saved presets are stored?

Does anyone know offhand, where saved presets are stored in Vegas 7? I've been looking for them and I can't seem to find them. I'm moving to a new system and I'm trying to organize all my stuff so when I make the move it will be as painless as possible. I have lots of color correction and blur effects settings saved and I'm assuming that they're transportable. Thanks.

I believe they're stored in the Windows registry.

There is a download that is part of Sound Forge that is a present manager. It lets you export presents to a file and import them elsewhere.

been tehre tried that, in the end i had to go through and redo al of them manually..

was bloody tedious let tell you..

Come to think of it.. if u check out the batch render scripts, they use presets as the basis for render outputs, SO of u fish through the script itself, there should be a "link" to the directory in which these presets reside..
i dunno if its in the registry.. lord knows why theyd be there anyway..
if they are, id recomend Sony remove them coz if ur registry gets screwed, your presets are also screwed...

There many discussion on this issue.

Preset manager - only work on audio.
The scripts - use API to get the list, no direct access to files or registry.
The data is stored in the registry, and it is not easy to copy.

Bes method - create a veg project, add events and add the effects with the presets.
On the new system, open the veg file and go to each event and save the preset.

This is not true. It WILL work with effects - you just have to make a preset CHAIN. Then, after importing, you have to load the chain and save each piece individually. But the preset manager WILL work with video presets as well.

that it does, BUT it does not save individual presets set for non chained filters.

In addition, it doesnt save render presets one might have created over a period of time..
