What is a preset?
A preset is a pre-configured setting that can be applied to a video or an audio file to make specific changes.
What is the point of presets?
Presets are designed to save time and standardize your editing process. They allow editors to quickly apply effects, transitions, or color grading settings without manual adjustments for each video, ensuring uniformity across projects.
Audio presets are often used to quickly apply EQ, compression, or noise reduction settings so that the sound quality is consistent across episodes.
Do video editors use presets?
Yes, video editors commonly use presets to streamline the editing process by applying pre-configured settings like color grading, transitions, and effects to multiple projects, saving significant time and effort.
Is a preset just a filter?
While filters usually alter the color or sound quality of a video, presets can apply a broader range of settings, including transitions, effects, and motion graphics.
What's the difference between LUTs and presets?
LUTs (Look-Up Tables) are explicitly used for color grading, applying predefined color adjustments to your footage. Presets include a variety of settings beyond just color.
