Orphaned Favorites under effects library - Removal

PostThu Jun 17, 2021 6:24 pm

In the course of designing several video transitions, packaging them up for use in the effects library on the edit page, then creating presets and adding them to my favourites I inadvertently orphaned some of them when I discovered issues, deleted the original package and replaced them. Unfortunately I did not name the new macros the same that I installed as a package so I have a bunch of orphaned favorites that I can't remove from the favorites list because the presets they were based on, disappeared when I deleted the original setting file packages without turning off the little favorites star first. How do I manually delete them from the favorites area, there are a bunch of them and they are really cluttering things up.

I couldn't find a way. You might have to re-add those presets that were deleted.
My Biases:

You NEED training.
You NEED a desktop.
You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.

Yea, I tried that but it won't let me create new presets with those names, just gives an error and makes me choose another name. I guess I could try manually installing a new package where I name the Macros the same and see if that will work.
