Soft fx presets dropdown menu

morning - on my older system config i had a bunch of presets for the text soft fx and burn-ins etc that i could access in the little presets dropdown right under the soft fx itself - super quick and easy.

im trying to save txt presets now so they appear in that drop down, but no joy…any thoughts?

there’s probably more stuff in the help files

thanks phil - ive found in order to ge the ddrop down working - my setup needs to be in its own subfolder - but now that works, it wont load anything./…

fiddly

solved.

i make a subfolder called LEGALS in my opt/autodesk/presets/text/presets folder

i load my text in to a node in batch, and save the entire text node from there ( the load/save buttons on the far right BEFORE i edit inside the text node )

then my drop down menu works, and the text setup loads super

That’s handy, I never used these preset functions…because they are always empty. Now I understand you have to create them first :blush:

:joy: reading… who knew?

Annoying thing was that this is not written in the guidance.

@Dan - I’m not sure that’s right - the docs appear to have been published in the help files for at least two versions.

Maybe you’re using an older version of flame?

Bitten by the version bug - I’m obsolete
