SpiceMaster has four types of presets -- Effects Browser presets, Spice Library presets, Section presets and Premiere Effect Presets.

Effects Browser presets
This is the most powerful and visual way to access presets and is where HUNDREDS of transition presets are located. Click the
Click here to load a preset... button at the top of SpiceMaster to open a wonderful large
Effects Browser window to visually choose/compare from over 200 pre-made presets (including those you have made and saved for future re-use).
To explore presets, click a folder in the left pane, then click a thumbnail image to see animated preview. Double-click to apply. To save your own custom presets in the Effects Browser, use SpiceMaster controls to set up the desired look, then click the
Save button in the main SpiceMaster control area.
NOTE: Save the presets with a keyframed parameters as Premiere
Effect Presets.
Time-saving tips to load presets faster:
The Effects Browser is fast, but sometimes you may already know which preset you want to use, such as when you are applying the same preset repeatedly in a project. In that situation, selecting a preset by one of the following methods can be faster...
To see recently chosen Effects Browser presets, click the Recent button. For a drop-down menu of Effects Browser presets, click the Menu button. To use a standard Open file dialog box, click the Open button.
Presets for single-clip transitions:
When SpiceMaster is applied to only one non-overlapped clip some features are not available and some presets will look complete only when applied between two clips. Presets in 'Film Dissolves' folder may not look properly applied at the clip's head.
AnimatedPIPs and 'Basic Presets' are tuned for clip's head or between two clips. If applied at the clip's tail you may need to toggle 'Switch Clips' option and reverse progress. To hold the PIP, set two adjacent keyframes to equal value.
Presets in 'Other" folder are tuned for clip's tail or between two clips. If applied at the clip's head you may need to toggle 'Switch Clips' option and reverse progress. To hold the transition, set two adjacent keyframes to equal value.

Spice Library presets
Each 'spice' is a specially-designed grayscale map that guides SpiceMaster. The SpiceMaster effect will begin where blackest pixels reside (in the spice file's image, not your content), then proceed to where lighter grays reside, and finally end where the whitest pixels exist in the spice image. It's simple in concept but incredibly flexible and organic in its creative possibilities compared to the usual hard-edged, limited-adjustment, standard algorithmic effects.
Click the large Choose Spice File button located in Spice section of SpiceMaster to open a
Spice Library window and visually choose/compare from 1000+ spices.
Click a subfolder in the Library's left pane, as shown below. Thumbnail-size
previews of available effects will then play in the right pane so
you can visually compare and choose the best effect design for your segment.
Double-click a thumbnail in the Library's right pane to select the effect
and close the Library.
To choose a spice but bypass the Library, Alt-click
the Choose Spice File button to get a
standard
Open dialog box. Then navigate to and select
the file. This is how you can load a gradient/alpha wipe or black & white matte
you have created.
Shift-click
the Choose Spice button to quickly load a spice via a multi-level menu.
Cmd-click
the Choose Spice button to quickly load a recently used spice.
Handy tips while working within the Effects Browser and Spice Library:
• To scroll through presets in a folder while keeping your eye on the top preview image for comparison, click a thumbnail in the right pane then use arrow keys.
• To increase/decrease the thumbnail image size, use the
Size button at the bottom of the Effects Browser.
• To copy a favorite preset into the My Favorites folder located atop the left column of preset folders, Control-click any preset image and choose
Copy to My Favorites.
To copy the preset into a subfolder within that folder (such as if you want to organize presets per project or per client), Control-click the preset and choose
Copy to My Favorites >> [new subfolder]. You can then name the subfolder as desired. After the subfolder is created, it will also appear in the Control-click menu.
• To rename a preset that is in the My Favorites folder, Control-click the preset there and choose
Rename this preset.
To remove a My Favorites preset, Control-click and choose
Delete this preset.
• To hide any preset, Control-click the preset and choose
Hide this preset.
To show all hidden presets in a folder, Control-click any preset in that folder and choose
Restore all hidden presets from this folder.
To temporarily view the folder's hidden presets, which can be handy if you just want to momentarily browse them, choose
Temporarily show hidden presets.
Section presets
Unlike the Effect Browser presets, these change ONLY the controls in ONE section of SpiceMaster controls. Mixing presets from several sections is a quick and easy way to try hundreds of fresh film transition variations. Within any section (aka "twirly") of controls, choose from the Preset menu.
Premiere Effect Presets
If you prefer, you can save SpiceMaster presets as effect presets in the usual place within Premiere, by selecting SpiceMaster, then choosing Save Preset from the Effect Controls panel menu. The saved presets will apear in Premiere's Effects panel, Presets section.
