Storing an Effect for Repeated Use in Avid Xpress Pro
Let's say that you have created the popular white flash effect for your Avid project via the Fade to Color Effect located in the Effects Pallete. For consistency, you may want to save the effect that you have already created for multiple use throughout the program. That way you wouldn't have to keep recreating the effect everytime you wanted to use it, you could just tweak the one you have already made or use it as is.
Storing an Effect
After you have tweaked the Fade to Color Effect in the Effect Editor and applied it to an edit point in your sequence, you will notice an icon representing that effect at the top of the Effect Editor Pallete.
Activate the Bin window by clicking in it and Press Control N for a PC or Command N for a Mac to create a new bin and name it Effects.
Simply drag the effect icon from the top of the Effect Editor into the new bin. Now at any point in your sequence when you need this pre-tweaked effect, all you have to do is drag this icon from the Effects bin you have made and place it into your sequence.
