  • Saving a Plug in Pre set with MERCALLI

    Posted by Wayne Grauel on March 14, 2009 at 10:55 pm

    I’m using Mercalli Pro… i have it tweaked for a certain type of shot that i use with my work..

    I saved the preset plug-in – BUT..when when i launch mercalli again to stabilize another piece of footage.. if i click on my “saved preset”.. nothing happens.. for example – no changes happen on the settings.

    i want a static border and not zoomed and – not to mention a bunch of other little settings..

    Is this not possible..?? i sure hope not!…

    Thanks\

    Are you saving within the Vegas Preset section? Just under what would be the “chain”? If this is the case then what I need to do is to write an actual name for the Preset – eg: GB_Plane_1a and if I make some further tweaks to it I can can call it GB_Plane_2a. When I do this I can call back each Preset and I can SEE the settings change. However, you do need to save each one with an individual name.

    Grazie

    I have the same experience: the profiles work fine but the presets are useless. I can save them, but opening a preset doesn’t bring back the settings. Unfortenately I never found a solution for this. In the meantime I have stopped using Mercalli…

    Graham,

    For some reason I went back to re-createe the problem and perhaps take a screen shot… and it worked.

    I right click on the video clip that I want to work on — mercalli is in the video chain ( if not – click on it to add it to the chain…)

    but today it seemed to work.. perhaps I spoke too soon?..

    Basically.. it is in Sony’s preset right about the Mercalli Profile

    I’ll post again if i have problems

    Yes i am saving in the Preset vegas section right above the mercalli plugin,

    Yes.. i set mercalli to desired settings,, then entered a preset name and hit the save icon..

    So.. i see that it did work this time.. -perhaps it was me post again if i have another problem.

    thanks
