HI All,
Not sure if I am doing this correct or not. I am making a halloween sequence and have some single color AC floods that I am going to be using. One thing I have is a Flicker that I like and I wanted to save it as a Preset Effect. So I right clicked on the effect in my sequence and and selected Effect Presets and created a new one for my flicker. I then went to a new sequence and tried to apply that to a new On effect and it did not appear to work. Is there some trick to using the presets across sequences?
-
Nope there's no trick.
-
do the value curve setting work with the presets? That is what I have set-up for a flashing light. It does not appear to copy.
-
There is no difference between a preset and a copy/paste. Its the exact same data. So yes the curve state is saved along with every effect.
-
Strange, it does not work for me no matter what I do. I have a On effect with the value curve set to saw tooth to create a flashing affect on a AC white flood. I right click on it, create a preset and save it. Go to a new sequence put an ON effect out, right click on it and select my preset and then click apply. Nothing.

That's not how presets work. They don't modify existing effects. You need to select a target location like you are going to do a paste and then select and apply the preset. The way you are trying to do it causes the existing effect to block the preset you are trying to paste.
