Saving presets for other projects
If you want to use this preset in other projects, export it. To do that, select the preset 
in the Effects > Presets folder, open the Effects panel menu, choose Export Preset, 
navigate to an appropriate file folder, give your preset a name (it doesn’t have to be 
the same as its name in the Presets folder), and click Save.
8
Drag Lesson 10 Bevel Edges from the Presets bin to each clip in the Video 2, 4, 
5, and 6 tracks (not to the clip in Video 1—that’s the full-screen video you’ll use 
as a background for the PIP). Or, you can Shift-select these tracks, and drag the 
preset over once. 
9
Return the Program Monitor’s Select Zoom Level menu to Fit, and then play 
this sequence.
All five PIPs have the same beveled-edge look.
