A preset is a saved configuration of views and settings appropriate for a particular task. For example, if you want to quickly
assemble media and tools into a loose composition, you would build a three-view layout that displays a configuration that
included a File Browser, a Layer Editor and a Player, as well as the Details area for displaying information about the composition
or currently selected tool. Now, if you want to add and tweak layers in your composition, you could then switch to an editing
preset to display only the Layer Editor and Player, and continue working.
You can also create new presets, and rename or delete existing ones as needed.
NoteYou can modify the default presets simply by selecting a different layout, or replacing a view by dropping a different view
on the viewport.
To choose default presets:
- In the taskbar at the bottom-left, click the preset menu to display the list of presets.
- Select a preset from the list or use its numeric keypad hotkey.
To select, delete, rename, set as default, or reset to a default preset:
- Select the Edit Layout Presets and choose the New, Delete, Rename, Set as Default, or Reset command.
- If you chose the New or Rename command, enter a name for the new/renamed preset and click OK or press Enter. If you chose the Delete command, select Yes or No in the deletion confirmation dialog.
NoteYou can create up to 18 presets that will have hotkeys to access them. The first nine will use the single number 1 through
9 on the keypad and the next nine will use the hotkey combination of Ctrl and 1 through 9.
To change the order of the layout presets:
- Hold Ctrl and drag the name of the preset to a new location higher or lower within the menu.
NoteYou must designate or set the default state of a preset. When you select the Reset to Default option, the preset will return
to the state that you have designated as the default.
