To manage the graphics files that are embedded inside an FxPack using FxFactory Pro, open the FxPack editing window and click the "Embedded Graphics" button in the window toolbar. The following sheet will appear:

The sheet contains buttons to import ("+"), delete ("-"), preview (magnifying glass) and export any graphics file currently supported by FxFactory. You can also filter the file list by searching file names for a given search string.

It is possible to import a variety of still image file formats (e.g. PNG, TIFF, JPEG, PDF) as well as QuickTime movies inside and FxPack. Embedded graphics may be used by parameters for special purposes.
For example, Banner type parameters may reference (and display) one of the embedded graphic files to the user. Banner parameters may also reference a PDF file which contains documentation about a given plug-in, so that the documentation is displayed when the user clicks the banner.
Image Well parameters may use one of the embedded graphic files whenever the user has not yet assigned any media to the Image Well via the Final Cut Pro or Motion parameter inspectors.
