Project Presets
Presets allow you to save your current video styles and editor settings into reusable templates. Whether you're working solo or with a team, presets help you speed up your workflow and maintain a consistent visual style across all your projects.
What's in a Preset?
When you save a new preset, the following editor settings are saved:
- Background settings
- Cursor settings
- Camera settings (excluding Camera AI Background effects)
- Caption visibility (only if captions are generated in the project)
- Zoom Movement animation style
These settings ensure that your projects maintain a consistent look and feel.
