JMac I created a text clip, put it on a track, added FX's and fading controls and now would like to use the whole thing in another project without starting over. Is there a way to save a clip that has been customized for reuse?

[deleted] Hi Try these...... Create your text Add your effects to the text Save your project. (Just the text). You will have a vpj file. Load this vpj file before you start your next project. Create your text Add effects to your text Export the project. (Just the text) as an mp4 etc. At any point during editing of your new project, load the saved mp4 clip of the text. Green screen the text clip using black to render the background transparent. Unfortunately, although you can import clips (including text clips) from another project. and even though it would be a vpj file, the effects are not imported, with the text clip. HOWEVER....... Create your text Add your effect to the text Click the + that follows Sequence 1 x at the left end of the timeline. This creates a Sequence and clears the timeline. Now Save Project As...give it a name like "Text with effects" (Something descriptive) This will save a .vpj file of your sequence At any point during the editing of your next project Click Menu/File and Import clips from another project Select your saved vpj file ("Text with effects.vpj") Your Sequence bin will now contain your text but WITH THE EFFECTS intact If you keep this vpj file somewhere safe you can use it over and over again for different projects Nat
