2.14 Getting
Started:
Exporting
a
Plugin
to
the
V-­‐Machine
When
you
imported
your
plugin
and
assigned
it
to
a
mixer
slot,
you
created
a
basic
V-­‐Machine
Preset.
V-­‐Machine
presets
reside
in
a
Bank,
which
resides
in
a
Library.
Prior
to
exporting
your
Bank,
Preset,
and
plugin
to
the
V-­‐Machine,
we’ll
need
to
choose
the
Library
in
which
to
store
them.
Go
back
to
the
main
menu
and
select
Options
(Windows)
or
Preferences
(Macintosh).
If
no
default
location
has
been
entered
in
the
Primary
Field
of
the
Active
Library
box,
click
the
Browse
button
(in
Windows,
the
Browse
button
may
appear
only
with
three
dots,
not
with
the
word
“Browse”)
at
the
right
end
of
this
field.
Choose
a
name
and
location
for
your
Library.
The
name
should
end
with
the
extension
.vfxlibrary.
Click
the
Close
box.
13. In
the
main
menu,
choose
Preset
>
Rename
Preset.
Give
your
new
Preset
a
descriptive
name.
14. From
the
main
menu,
choose
File
>
Save
Preset.
15. From
the
main
menu,
choose
File
>
Export
to
VFX
Library.
The
Export
to
VFX
Library
box
(see
Figure

will
open.
Figure

The
Export
box
shows
where
in
the

your
