[Mike Kujbida]

I found these on my hard drive. Is this all there was?

you Sir, are a godsend! I’m adding content to a project I made for a client about 3 years ago, and they want the exact same look match… I was in quite a bind! thanks so much!

Being a packrat has it’s advantages 🙂
I’m glad I could help.

Mike, how do you get these into the system after the download?

[Mike Kujbida]

Mike, you need to download the free Preset Manager from the Sony site at https://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/download/utilities
The downloaded presets can be saved anywhere you want as long as you remember where you keep them.
I have a master folder full of various Vegas utilities and keep them in there.
After installing it, open it and you’ll see this.

Go File – Open, browse to the Preset folder, click any one of them and click Open.
Now that you’re back to the main screen, click on the name and you’ll see the words FX Chains appear in the top right window.
Click this word and the Copy to System icon should now be active.
Click on it to copy the presets to your system.

To use it, open up Vegas, drop something on the timeline, click the Event FX button, click Filter Packages, click any one of them and click OK.

You’ll be back at the Event FX window with a string of different FX already applied.
These are what make up the preset.
Exit this to see what the event now looks like.
If you don’t like it, delete all of them and try another one.
Have fun playing!!

Thanks for the refresher, Mike. I did this before, but couldn’t gather the brain power to remember how. There is a lot to look at with these presets. It looks like fun indeed! Thanks again…;^)

Hi everyone,

what are these and what are they used for?

Gilles, these are the quickest, fastest, and easiest way to make your projects look pretty much like any movie style out there.
They probably won’t do for broadcast-quality work, but for anythiing short of that will absolutely dazzle your clients, making you look like a resident Spielberg/Tarantino.

With apologies to MB and any other commercial package out there, these babies are GOLD. I’ve been using them since 2006 (or 7?)… I just came off a year and a half of doing radio, and lost them in the shuffle..
