You can also use the preset effects to alter settings of an effects opera-
tor already applied to a clip:
y Select the effects operator from the effects list of the timeline ele-
ment properties so that its settings are visible in the settings pane to
the right.
y After this drag and drop the preset effect into the settings pane.
The predefined settings of the preset effect will be set for the already
applied effects operator.
4.3.4 Administration of Preset Effects
To facilitate your work with preset effects they can be administered in
several ways. For example, they can be renamed or deleted as well as
saved or loaded. This section explains the various possibilities to admin-
ister preset effects.
Most of these tasks require the usage of the context menu of an effect
in the effects pane (usually invoked with a right-click of the mouse):
In case the preset effect has been assigned a keyboard
shortcut (see section “Creating Preset Effects via the Key-
board” on page 4-27), you may also press the function key
of the respective preset effect to apply it.
By pressing an unassigned function key you can call up a list
of all available preset effects for this effects operator. Then
you can use it to select one of the preset effects and apply it
(same as Load Preset, see section “Using Preset Effects in
the Properties Area” on page 7-14).
The settings will only be adjusted if the preset effect is of the
same type as the effect selected from the effects list of the
timeline element properties.
