Effects presets save time when you are reusing your effects.

Saving effects presets can save a lot of time, if you find yourself using the same effects settings over and over. But creating them isn’t obvious. Here’s what you need to know.

• First, select a clip and make the effects changes you want to save into a preset.
• Next, Cmd-click the category names containing the settings you want to save. (See the screen shot.) For example, if you changed the Position setting, then Cmd-click Motion.
• Control-click one of the selected Categories to display the Save Preset option.
• In the Preset dialog, name and describe the preset.
• Scale applies the effect to the entire length of a clip.
• Anchor to in point and Anchor to out point use the duration from the beginning or end of the clip when applying the preset to future clips
• Click OK to save the preset.

EXTRA CREDIT

• Presets are stored in Effects > Presets.
• To delete a Preset, select it in the Effects panel, then Control-click and select Delete.
