solved Can customized video text clips be saved for use in another project?

[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?

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
