To load up a preset file previously saved to disc, simply click the "Open" button available in the Presets control. Preset files are plug-in specific: a preset file created with the Perspective Reflection plug-in can only be loaded from another instance of the same effect. ... For instance, we can load the newly created "Billboard" preset file from an instance of the Perspective Reflection plug-in applied in Motion 3: Similarly, a preset file created on one system can be loaded up from the same plug-in running on a different system, enabling you to share a given effect setup with co-workers as well as among your own projects. ...The functionality discussed thus far is a great time saver, but FxFactory has one more trick up its sleeve. You will notice that every time you click the "Save As..." button in the Presets control, you will be prompted to save the preset file to a folder named "Presets": ...It is one of two locations that FxFactory observes while its plug-ins are being loaded by Final Cut Pro and Motion. When you save a preset file at that location, it will automatically appear under the Presets popup menu the next time you restart Final Cut Pro or Motion: With this simple trick, you can make you own library of Presets immediately available within the parameter inspector. ...Just remember to back up your preset files any time you reformat your drive, or else your precious collection of presets will be erased along with your user settings. ]]>
