About Sequence Settings and Presets
A sequence preset has two tabs: the General and Video Processing tabs.
Note: Default Timeline, render control, and audio outputs options are available in User
Preferences, or after a sequence has been created by choosing Sequence > Settings.
To view or edit a sequence preset:
1 Choose Final Cut Pro > Audio/Video Settings, then click the Sequence Presets tab.
2 Click the preset you want to modify, then click Edit.
General Tab for Sequences
 Name: Enter a name for the preset. This name appears in the Audio/Video Settings
window in two places: the Sequence Preset pop-up menu in the Summary tab, and
the list of presets in the Sequence Presets tab.
 Description: Enter a brief description, or summary, of what the preset is to be
used for.
 Frame Size: Choose the horizontal and vertical image dimensions from the Aspect
Ratio pop-up menu. To use a different frame size, choose Custom, then enter a
nonconstrained frame size in the Width and Height fields.
Note: Even if you’ll be outputting at a smaller frame size for multimedia use, it’s best
to edit your video at its full size, then scale it down later.
