Creating Favorite Filters and Transitions
The steps for creating favorite filters and transitions are essentially the same. You can
create a favorite by dragging a filter or transition from the Timeline or from the Effects
tab into the Favorites bin in the Effects tab. Although the steps below mostly describe
how to create favorite transitions, the same steps can be used to make favorite filters.
To create a favorite transition from the Effects tab:
1 Select the desired transition in the Effects tab of the Browser.
2 Choose Effects > Make Favorite Effect.
The transition is copied to the Favorites bin. If you want to rename this favorite
transition, see “
Organizing and Renaming Favorites ” on page 335.
To create a favorite transition using a transition already in a sequence:
m Drag a transition you’ve modified from its sequence in the Timeline to the Favorites bin
in the Effects tab of the Browser.
The Favorites bin holds
modified and frequently
used transitions and filters.
It can be organized with
sub-bins, like the Browser.

transition from a
sequence in the Timeline
to the Favorites bin.
