copy paste fx's between projects

Post by Peter Wassink »

I'd like to be able to copy paste fx's between the stacks of different projects

Without having to go through the old fashioned step of first exporting it and then in the other project finding it and then loading it in.
Especially if you want to copy an fx into multiple projects this gets boring
so just a "copy this effect" in the pull down (and a paste fx, also off course), would do it.
and maybe also a "copy this stack" in the global stack pull down

What about being able to select one or several effects from the effect stack and then Ctrl-c and then new project ctrl-V

Good point!
How about a bin of sorts, where the user can save the effects that he/she frequently uses, including all settings, etc?
Same idea as the bin for custom brushes that we have now, but somewhere inside the FX stack panel.

Just tried this: I can save some effect in its FXbin, and that saved effect immediately shows up in the same effect's FXbin in a different project. The same works for whole effects stacks.

Ah! thanks you'r right, but this way you still need to first find and load that same fx into the stack before you can select the setting.
a simple CTRL-C / V , if possible, would be better

Also i would like it if the default name when adding an fx to the bin would be the name of that fx.

now, no matter what fx i get:
"effect 1" and when i add another after that:
"effect 0" after that its:
"effect 0" every time, bug?
