Media selection
Files that are part of the current project appear here as tabs. Use the X buttons to remove them from the project or drag to reorder them.You can also press Backspace/Delete to remove the currently selected file from the project.
Preset library
These on-click presets apply to all sections and may contain both color adjustments and other settings.Preset-based tool settings that you apply to the "Global settings" range also apply to all other ranges that do not already contain modified settings for the affected tools. For example, this means a global setting for brightness will only apply to ranges that do not have custom brightness settings already.
User presets
You can save your current video settings, including effects, as a custom template for future use. To do this, navigate to the "Global Settings" of your video and click the "Plus" sign next to the preset selection. Then, assign a name to your preset. You will then be prompted to select the settings to be included in the template.
Additionally, in the program settings, you can export your templates either individually using the download icon next to each entry or collectively by selecting "Export All" to a file. You can import previously exported templates by selecting "Import." If you're not satisfied with a template, you can completely remove it from the program using the X button.
