Question

Can you create an effect preset that affects multiple effect values with one input value?

This may be a little confusing so I will try my best to explain.

 

I'm trying to create effect presets (I know how to make basic presets to save) but I'm wondering if there is a way to take effect control to a new level.

 

For example, I know I can adjust "position" and then save the effect and next time I drop the saved effect, the position will be the same as previously saved (key frames too).


But, am I able to create my own Title/Name (effect?), let's say "intensity" and have that one input value, control both a warp and a chromatic aberration input? So when my value is set to "0" it doesn't do anything, but if I set it to "100" both the Warp AND chromatic aberration effect are at their "100" value.

 

Now basic explanation, I want to create a simple "effect" or "effect chain" that controls multiple effects at the same time, so when I input one value, multiple across different effects change.

 

In music production in Ableton we call this an "effect chain" it's basically one knob that affects different values in the whole chain of effects, and does WONDERS for workflow, I'm not sure if there's a similar thing for video editing in premiere pro though.

 

Any help appreciated 🙂

As Ann notes, you can make a preset of a selected group of effects, all applied together but as-set when saved.

 

This might be possible with scripting for Premiere, but most of us don't have any experience with that whatever. Maybe @Bruce Bullis would know.

You can put multiple effects in one preset.
