good question
intro –
i was working on an image in FCP7 , couple different plugins for color and cloning etc…
then i wondered if is there a way i can use this same combination of plugins in other image to look just like this i made.
Yes it is, as far that i know i can copy and paste.question –
is that a way i could save these plugins in order as a preset so i could simply drop it on any clip i want? (and then make changes for each particular clip) -

First, load the clip you’ve worked on into the viewer and go to the filters tab so you see the stack of effects you created. Then create a bin in your browser and name it appropriately (“filters for stills” for example). Now go to the filters tab in the viewer and select all of the effects and drag them into your newly created bin in the browser. You’ll see that the filters are placed into the bin. These filters retain the settings you’ve set and they can be applied to any clip in a sequence by simply drag-and-dropping the bin (filters for stills) onto the clip.
Note. If the order of filters is important (and it always is) then you’ll have to force the filters in the bin into the appropriate order by renaming them; i usually give each filter a numerical prefix (01_Color Corrector, 02_RGB Limit, etc). This way when you drop the bin onto a clip, the filters are applied in the right order.
Hope this helps

There is a better, or “less clunky” way to do that:
1) select the clip that has your filters in the timeline or have the playhead on it
2) make sure autoselect is on for the track the clip is on
3) Make favorite (option-F)
4) This creates a sub folder in the favorites folder. it contains your filters, in the right order
To apply this stack, just drag the folder over the clips you want to affect
WARNING: do not double click on the folder just created because it would rearrange the filters in the alphabetical order!
Hope this helps

or this copies the whole filter stack:
select clip
copy – apple c
paste attributes – option v
select filters and ok.Jon
