Managing Presets
I’m trying to learn Vegas step by step but I am confused on how text pre-sets work. I drop in a vanilla text pre-set, add my text, styles, etc. So far, so good.
I then want to make a change to my text style. Low and behold, I get a new untitled pre-set. Every time I change it I get a new untitled. If I save-as and re-choose to make changes, I get yet another untitled.I know that this is easy but it sure isn’t intuitive. Can someone please give me the magic secret how this works.
I know I’m missing a step or an option setting.ken wood

Have you tried typing in a new name where it says “Untitled”? Just type in a name for that preset and then click on the save icon and you’ll get a new preset under that name.

Yes, that works. But it is less than elegant, in my opinion.
As a newbie, I’m fiddling on the fly. So, as i make changes I preview. Some of my changes are obviously wrong, so i change again.
I guess is that I should just keep making my changes and when it is as good as I think I can make it save as a new preset.On reflection, I think I am trapped in how Word or other s/w products work. I need to ‘have faith’ that the changes I make in Vegas will get rendered as I want.
Lot’s to learn.
Thanks for your help.

Then I’m not sure I’m following you. A “Preset” is simply a specific group of settings. If you pull up a preset, it simply changes all settings to how that preset is defined. Beyond that, it’s listed as “untitled”. As you make changes, that preset will not be changed – only the settings for that one instance of the effect.
