Creating an Effects Bin:

[Thaxter Clavemarlton]

Click in the Browser and then hit Command (apple)- B .

And the other way to do this-
Click on (highlight) your effect in the timeline, then

Effects (menu) > Make Favorite Effect

That effect will appear in Browser window, Effects Tab > Favorites

If you double-click on the Favorites bin, it will open as a separate window.

In that Favorites window, you can create new bins (Command – B)
and you can drag the effects you want into new bins.

Its better to make a bin as well. in FCP there is often a need to trash the preferences. when you do you lose all your favorites. if you have them in a bin saved to project or even a generic project, you can recover them and re instate as your favorites easily

hope this helps

I have had issues with effects switching order in the effects pallet. You can create them in the effects pallet then drag them into the browser where you can rearrange them. And as mentioned already you can save them with the project and they will be safe when you trash your prefs. bins
