Using Presets in the CANVID Editor

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 Is Saved in a Preset?

When you create 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.

How to Create a New Preset

1. In the Editor, click Presets.
‍
2. Enter a name for your preset.
‍
3. Click Create.

Once created, your new preset will be added to your list. A Match icon will appear when your current editor settings match a saved preset.

Preset Options

Click the three vertical dots next to a preset to view additional actions:

• Rename
  Change the name of the preset

  Overwrites the preset with your current editor settings
  

• Use as default for new projects
  Sets this preset as the default for all new projects you create. This preset is marked with a Default icon.
