Copy Custom COMP Tab to the perform Container

Beginners
1

Not sure if this is the right approach, but I would like to manage all my custom tabs from my COMP’s from the Perform Container, and then use the preset system to store all my Perform parameters.

So, is there a way to copy my custom COMP Tab to the perform Container?

Thanks!

You can RMB copy a par page in the Comp Editor, load another Component into the editor, then RMB paste the page.

(I’m assuming you mean parameter page when you say “tab”)

Not working for me.

If I go to myContainer/Custom I only can copy single parameters but not the entire parameter page.

Also should’t they be linked somehow?

Thanks!

Maybe I’m confused about what you’re asking. Are you trying to create a page of custom parameters? If so, you can select and copy multiple in the comp editor (not on the actual parameter dialog)

Ok, let me try to formulate my question again…

Sometimes I have a container in lets says:

/Project/rendering/myContainer

and in myContainer I have a bunch of params in a Custom Tab.
My preset bank is at the /Project level and will store params which are inside a /Project tab.

How can I link and expose my custom tab parameters from myContainer to the /Project level, so I can store these params into my preset bank?

Please see the attached file.

How can I add the ‘parameter1’ as a tab into my ‘project1’ so I can store these values as a preset?
Thanks!

Open project1 in the Comp Editor. Create a page for your parameterCOMP pars. Drag each parameter you want in your preset from the parameterCOMP’s parameters to the Comp Editor parameter area. When the parameter is created, choose Bind New Par as Master.

After you create and bind all the parameters you can reinitialize the preset component and I think you’ll have what you want.

Thanks Ivan.

Got it now. It’s a bit confusing, that we only can drag and drop inside the Comp editor / Parameter header and not where the params actually are. But it works.

When dragging I only get a “Set Reference Expression on source” option.
I guess it is that what you mean with “choose Bind New Par as Master”?

Would be nice to have a option to copy the entire params section into the Comp editor somehow.

In new versions of TD, you drag to where parameters actually are. Dragging to header was a workaround for an old bug. Also, in new versions, you’ll get the menu options I mentioned.
