You can make your customized rendering templates available on another computer or user account by copying .sft files to the appropriate location in the new account or computer.

Rendering templates are stored in the following folder: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Sony\File Templates\<plug-in name>\<plug-in GUID>.

The Application Data folder is not visible unless the Show hidden files and folders radio button is selected on the View tab of the Windows Folder Options control panel.

You can find a plug-in’s name by clicking the About button in the Save As/Render As dialog.

The cryptic folder at the end of the path represents the file format plug-in’s GUID (global unique identifier), and this folder contains each rendering template as an .sft file.  If a plug-in supports several file formats, the plug-in’s folder may contain several GUID subfolders. The wavplug, for example, supports .wav, .w64, and .sfa files. To determine which format a GUID corresponds to, you can compare the .sft files in the folder with the plug-in’s available templates.

To make a template available on another computer or user account, copy the .sft file to the same location in another account.

For example, to make JSmith’s custom wave template available for the AJones user account, copy the appropriate .sft file from this folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\JSmith\Application Data\Sony\File Templates\wavplug\{80A33477-DD7A-11D2-8761-00C04F8EF35F}

to this folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\AJones\Application Data\Sony\File Templates\wavplug\{80A33477-DD7A-11D2-8761-00C04F8EF35F}.
