Editor presets

Last updated:

Produce consistent-looking videos by saving your defaults as a Preset. Apply it to any project with one click and share it with your team as a file.

What is a preset?

A preset is a reusable bundle of your defaults: the starting styling for Clips, zooms, masks, cursor and subtitles, plus the aspect ratio and the Loop cursor setting. Apply it to any project to match the look of your other videos.

A preset contains no footage and none of a project’s individual elements, only the settings. To capture a Scene’s current styling into your defaults first, use Set as default.

The preset manager

Open the preset manager with the Presets button in the editor’s title bar. It lists your presets, and from here you can Create, Apply, Update, Rename, Export, Import and Delete them.

  • Create new saves your current defaults as a new preset.
  • Update overwrites a preset with your current defaults.

Applying a preset

Applying a preset shows a summary of what it will change, plus two options:

  • Also apply to existing elements restyles the zooms, masks and Clips already in the project. Leave it off (the default) to only change what new elements will look like.
  • In multi-scene projects, choosing All Scenes or Selected Scene sets whether the preset’s look lands on every Scene or only the active one.

Sharing a preset

Presets are single files, so a whole team can produce consistent videos across machines. Export a preset to get the file, send it or copy it to another computer, and Import it there.
