Marketing

Essential

These items are used to deliver advertising that is more relevant to you and your interests. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Advertising networks usually place them with the website operator’s permission.

Personalization

Essential

These items allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For example, a website may provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing data about your current location.

Analytics

Essential

These items help the website operator understand how its website performs, how visitors interact with the site, and whether there may be technical issues. This storage type usually doesn’t collect information that identifies a visitor.

CANVID lets you save your Editor settings as presets so you can reuse them in future screen recording projects and keep every tutorial, product demo, bug report and YouTube screen recording consistent on both Windows and Mac.

Presets help keep your style consistent and speed up your workflow, whether you're working alone or with a team.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to:

Find your presets on your computer

Share them with others

Use presets made by someone else from another computer.

1. Check your presets

Before sharing, make sure your presets are ready.
Click the Presets button in CANVID and go through your list.

⚠️ If you make any changes, click Update to match currently edited project to save them.

2. Find your Presets folder

Click the three dots next to any preset and choose Show in File Explorer (Windows) or Show in Finder (Mac).

This opens the folder where your presets are saved.

3. Share the preset files

Now you can copy the .canvidpreset files however you like:
Upload them to cloud storage, email them, or put them on a USB drive, whatever works for you.

4. Import presets on another computer

Once you have the .canvidpreset files ready, here’s how to use them on another Windows or Mac computer:

Copying the presets to the folder, where the Preset list in app is immediately updated
