Saving customized plug-in presets

Video Track FX) appears.

3. Adjust the settings for the effect.
4. Enter a preset name in the Preset box.
5. Click the Save button ( ) to save the preset.
Tip: You can delete a saved preset by selecting it from the list
and clicking the Delete button ().
Arranging the order of plug-ins
Plug-ins are cumulative during playback. Because of this cumulative effect, you may need to arrange plug-ins
in a certain order so that one plug-in’s processing does not adversely affect the next plug-in on the chain.
There is no right or wrong way to order plug-ins, but some plug-ins work better when arranged in a particular
order.
You can arrange the order of plug-ins in a chain in either the appropriate FX window or the Plug-In Chooser
dialog.
Arranging the plug-in order in the FX window
1.
Click the Tra ck F X , Bus FX or Assignable FX button ( ). The appropriate FX window (Audio Plug-In or
Video Track FX) appears.
2. On the plug-in that you want to move, right-click and choose Move Left or Move Right from the shortcut
menu. Alternately, drag a plug-in to a new position.
3. Once the chain’s plug-ins are in the order that you want, click the Close button ( ) in the upper-right
corner to close the window.
