What is the first step to reset an effect's parameters?

1. Disable the effect

2. Right-click on the effect

3. Click the effect's Reset button

4. Delete the effect entirely

The correct answer is: Click the effect's Reset button

The first step to reset an effect's parameters is to click the effect's Reset button. This action effectively restores all parameters of the effect back to their default settings, allowing you to start fresh without having to manually adjust each parameter individually. This is particularly useful when experimenting with effects and needing to revert to the original configuration quickly. Disabling the effect or deleting it entirely would not reset the parameters; instead, they only change the effect's visibility or presence in your project. Right-clicking on the effect may provide various options related to its management but does not directly lead to resetting the parameters. Therefore, clicking the Reset button is the most efficient and straightforward method to return the effect to its initial state.
