To create such a preset effect as well as apply it to a selected clip in the
timeline you may use the context menu of an effect in the effects list.
Figure 7-9: Context menu of the effects list
The context menu of an effects operator in the effects list provides the
following menu options:
Further information about preset effects and, for example, oth-
er ways to create and apply them as well as how to use them
for several projects, can be found in section “Effects” on
page 4-25.
Delete This menu option deletes the respective effect
where the context menu was invoked from the ef-
fects list. After this its effect is removed from the
clip in the timeline. Alternatively, you can select the
effects operator and press the [Del] key on your
keyboard.
Load Preset The Load Preset menu option enables you to load
the settings of a preset effect to the respective ef-
fects operator. After the selection of this menu op-
tion a dialog window opens where you have to
select the wanted preset effect from a list. Once
this is confirmed with the OK button, the settings
of the preset effect will be applied to the selected
effects operator.
Save Preset This menu option creates a preset effect of the ef-
fect where the context menu was invoked. After its
activation a dialog window opens where you have
to enter a name for the preset effect. Once this is
confirmed with the OK button, the preset effect
will be created as a ’subeffect’ under the respective
effect in the tool area’s effects pane. Then it can be
used easily to apply the same effect setting over
and over again for different clips in the timeline, for
example, with the Load Preset menu option (see
above).
