Working with Timeline FX and Transition Presets

A library of presets is available for certain Timeline FX and transitions. A preset can be applied as is to achieve a particular effect, or it can be tweaked as needed, also speeding up the process compared to customizing a Timeline FX from its default settings in the Editor.

All Timeline FX quick menus display a Presets box to the right of the Editor button. If the Presets button is enabled, then presets can be applied from the quick menu or in the Editor. If the Presets box is greyed out there are currently none available for that type of Timeline FX.

To load a preset to a Timeline FX:

1. Display a Timeline FX quick menu (for example, a GMask Timeline FX).
2. Do one of the following:
   • Click the Presets drop-down list to select a preset by a filename in the list.
   • Click the Presets button to open the file browser. Navigate to the preset and select it to return to the quick menu.

   Menu settings are changed to reflect the chosen preset.
