Hi guys,

 

How tdo I move an effects preset to a new custom bin but keep copy in original location? Every time i drag the effects preset to my new bin it moves it to my custom bin but i want to keep a copy in the original location. I have tried holding down, "option" and dragging I have tried "shift" and dragging, but nothing. Any tips? Thanks guys!

Just repeating what I said on FB

 

If you use a custom preset bin, the preset will get moved.
If you use a custom bin, the preset will be copied and put in that bin and stay in the original one.

To duplicate an effects preset and move it to a custom bin while keeping a copy in its original location, you have two options:

  1. Save as a New Preset:
    • Apply the preset to a clip in your timeline.
    • Right-click the clip and choose Save Preset.
    • Save it in your custom bin.
  2. Export and Reimport:
    • Open the Effects panel.
    • Click the panel menu (hamburger icon in the top-right corner of the Effects panel) and choose Export Preset.
    • Save the preset to a location on your computer.
    • Import the preset back into the Effects panel and assign it to the custom bin.
