Preset Manager overview

Last updated on Apr 2, 2026

Learn how Preset Manager lets you choose pre-defined export settings, import or export presets for sharing, and save your own.

Preset Manager helps streamline your export workflow by giving you full control over how your media is saved and shared. It provides a list of pre‑defined export settings that you can quickly choose from, making it easy to select the right configuration without having to adjust individual parameters each time.

In addition to these ready-made options, Preset Manager also allows you to import presets created by others or export your own presets for sharing with collaborators, ensuring consistency across different projects and team members. If you have specific export settings you use regularly, you can save them as custom presets, allowing you to access them instantly whenever you need. Overall, Preset Manager simplifies preset management and helps you work more efficiently by organizing, reusing, and sharing export settings with ease.
