Creating a preset with Adjustments settings

[tomek398]

Is it possible to create Custom Preset with settings from ‘Adjustment’ category such us Gamma Correction, Color, Lighting etc.?

[Steve Grisetti]

No.

Although the Auto Color Tone tool will "learn" from your adjustments and automatically adjust based on them.

Steve is right, there is not a built in "Preset" capability.  

However (!) there is a way to save your specific set of adjustments and use them in multiple projects.   It takes a few steps, but it does allow you to use a preset "style" through multiple projects. 

1.  Open a new project with a name like "Adjustment Preset Template".  Put a sample of a typical clip in it and on the timeline.  

2.  Create an Adjustment Layer through the Project Assets box drop down menu and put it above the clip.

3.  Apply your combination of adjustments to the Adjustment Layer, not the clip.

4.  Delete the clip through the Project Assets panel.  All that remains is the adjustment layer.  

5.  For each new project, open the "Adjustment Preset Template" project and immediately save it with the new project's name.  

6.  Add your media clips, do your editing and anywhere you want the "Preset", drag the adjustment layer to a track above the clip or clips.  

Note that you can use the same technique to keep a selection of titles, music tracks, effects, etc in a "template" project for use across a variety of other projects.

This is not best solution for me as I work on projects which consist of video clips coming from various sources and they need different setting.

Thank you. This this some this is some walkaround which could be useful.

In general I don’t understand why some settings can be saved as a preset as others not. It’s a bit strange.
