Save video effects presets in Final Cut Pro
You can save any combination of video effects and video effect parameter settings as a
video effects preset, which appears in the Effects browser and functions like any other
video effect. You can create an effects preset from any combination of built-in effects and
clip effects. After you create an effects preset, you can share it with friends and colleagues
so that the same preset (with its specific combination of effects and parameter settings) is
available in their Effects browser.
