Creating, Editing, and Deleting Presets

If you commonly create projects using custom settings that don’t match any of the
available presets, you can create a new preset with these settings for future use. Presets
are created, modified, and deleted in the Presets pane of Motion Preferences.

To create a new custom preset:

1

Choose Motion > Preferences (or press Command-comma).

2

In the Presets pane, choose Project Presets from the Show pop-up menu.

3

Click the Add button (+) beneath the presets list.

The Project Preset Editor dialog appears.

4

In the Project Preset Editor dialog, do the following:

 In the Name field, type a descriptive name for the preset.
 Enter a brief description of what that preset is for. It may also be useful to call out

significant characteristics of that particular preset, such as frame size and frame rate.

 Enter a frame size into the Width and Height fields.
 Choose a Pixel Aspect Ratio, Field Order, and Frame Rate from the corresponding

pop-up menus.

Click OK.
