# Creating a New Transcoding Template

When you are working on a RED media project, you may want to apply the same transcoding settings to new footage as you import them. Being able to apply the settings from a previous session can ease the transcoding process.

There are two ways to create a new template:

- By setting the RED media options and saving a new template.
- By loading a previously-saved template, making the necessary changes to the settings, and saving the new template.

To create a new transcoding template:

1. Set the values for the following three settings:
   - RED media colour settings. See Transcode Colour Settings 2012 Extension 1.
   - RED media format settings. See Transcode Format Settings 2012 Extension 1.
   - Output settings. See Transcode Output Settings 2012 Extension 1.
2. In the Transcoding Template field, enter a name and click Save.
   NoteYou should enter a name that will help you distinguish what type of settings you have selected.

To create a new transcoding template from an existing template:

1. From the Transcoding Template list, select the template to use as baseline.
2. Click Load.
   WarningRename the new template, or you will overwrite the original template with the new settings.
3. Configure the template by editing the values of the following settings:
   - RED media colour settings. See Transcode Colour Settings 2012 Extension 1.
   - RED media format settings. See Transcode Format Settings 2012 Extension 1.
   - Output settings. See Transcode Output Settings 2012 Extension 1
4. Click Save.
