To organize favorite transitions and filters into sub-bins:
1 Click your project’s tab in the Browser.
2 Create a new bin and give it an appropriate name.
For more information, see Volume II, Chapter 1, “Organizing Footage in the Browser.”
3 Drag the Effects tab out of the Browser so it appears in its own window.
4 Drag your new bin to the Favorites bin in the Effects window.
5 Drag any transitions or filters to the new bin.
The bin now appears as an item in the Favorites submenu of the Effects menu.
∏
Tip: You can save your filter, transition, and motion favorites directly in your project by
dragging them from the Favorites bin in the Effects tab to a bin in your project tab. This
allows you to save favorites from project to project, and to easily transfer your favorites
to other Final Cut Pro editing systems.
Applying Favorite Filters and Transitions
You can apply filters and transitions from the Favorites bin in the Effects tab just as you
would apply any other filter or transition. Transitions can be applied to edit points
between sequence clips, and one or more filters can be simultaneously applied to one
or more clips in your sequence. For more information about applying filters to clips, see
“
Applying a Filter to a Clip ” on page 218 and “ Applying Multiple Filters to Clips ” on
page 222. For more information about applying transitions to edit points, see Volume II,
Chapter 21, “Adding Transitions.”
∏
Tip: You can open the Favorites bin independently of the Effects tab by choosing
Window > Favorites (or pressing Command-6).
