Saving FX presets

Is there some way that if I set up a chain of FX, such as Curves, Letterbox,Color corrector etc, I can save them all as a combined effect package, rather than have to apply them all separately?

Thanks in anticipation...

Hi Robin
With the desired chain open in a Video track FX window, click the Plug-In Chain icon at the upper right
A Plug-in Chooser window should open. Click Save As... button on the right, give your preset a name and click on OK

Using the free Preset Manager download from Sony, you can also save preset chains and import them on other machines or share your chains with others.

Re: Saving FX presets

Talking of "sharing your chains with others" there's a few free movie look presets for Vegas here -

although there seems to be a problem with two of them BRONZE and JOURNEY the others work OK.
