Arranging the order of plug-ins

Plug-ins are cumulative during playback. Because of this cumulative effect, you may need to arrange plug-ins in a certain order so that one plug-in’s processing does not adversely affect the next plug-in on the chain. There is no right or wrong way to order plug-ins, but some plug-ins work better when arranged in a particular order.

You can arrange the order of plug-ins in a chain in either the appropriate FX window or the Plug-In Chooser dialog.

Arranging the plug-in order in the FX window

1.Click the Track FX, Bus FX or Assignable FX button (). The appropriate FX window (Audio Plug-In or Video Track FX) appears.

Assignable effects are available only in the full version of Vegas software.

2.On the plug-in that you want to move, right-click and choose Move Left or Move Right from the shortcut menu. Alternately, drag a plug-in to a new position.

3.Once the chain’s plug-ins are in the order that you want, click the Close button () in the upper-right corner to close the window.

Arranging the plug-in order from the Plug-In Chooser dialog

1.Click the Track FX, Bus FX or Assignable FX button (). The appropriate FX window (Audio Plug-In or Video Track FX) appears.

Assignable effects are available only in the full version of Vegas software.

2.Click the Plug-In Chain button (). The Plug-In Chooser dialog appears with the plug-in chain displayed at the top.

3.Drag a plug-in to a new location in the chain, or select a plug-in and click either the Shift Plug-In Left () or Shift Plug-In Right () button.
