Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

Hello,

I was wondering if I can somehow save an effect as a button.
For example a "black and white" button or a "sharpen" / "blur" button? So that I don't have to open the FX panel and look through the FX bin.

Exactly this I thought last week.
+1.

Here's one way that I"ve used for years.

I have a bunch of FX.bin files stored (Exported) in a TVPaint subfolder named FxBin. when I want to create a button that will execute one of the effects, I create the button and insert this single command line:

tv_StackExecute FxBin\EffectFilename.bin

Replace the FxBin\ above with the subfolder where you store your Effects, and replace EffectFilename.bin above with your own effect.bin file name.

This should allow you to apply simple effects without even seeing the FX interface. In most cases, I create an FX and Export it with modest settings so that I can vary (heighten) the effect by clicking on the button I created multiple times.

There are other solutions to making FX buttons but this is the simplest I think.
