Note: You can automatically extract plug-ins when loading an FX Chain preset. To do so, hold
down the SHIFT key while loading the preset. For more information about extracting plug-ins
from an FX Chain container, see “To extract plug-ins from an FX Chain container” on page 888.

FX Chain as a missing plug-in and the contents of the FX Chain will be unavailable. Resaving
the project will permanently remove the FX Chain.
