Make Saved, Custom Overlay Setting the default

[Editor Jim]

I have a custom overlay setting for the program window that I like to use whenever I open Premiere.

I've named and saved it but when I open Premiere, it always reverts to "Custom Overlay" as the default. I then have to go in and change it to my saved preset. I'm sure there must be a way to make "My Saved Overlay" the default to avoid the added daily mouse clicking.

It's not possible to delete the default custom overlay preset entirely (Premiere will recreate it automatically on startup). However, you can make your custom overlay the default by saving it with the name "Custom Preset". When you do this, Premiere Pro will always load your saved settings on startup.

Hi. Thanks for the help. That worked, sort of. You need to save it with the name "Custom Overlay", not Custom Preset. Custom Overlay is the default. It was a pretty simple solution. I should have thought of that. At any rate, thanks for the help. It's been bothering me for months.
