It is important to not change the messages, only the values.įsaa1/0 use hardware accellerated rendering. The VPT preferences consists of a list of messages followed by values, and this is where you do some customization of VPT. A yellow circle indicates the current preset, a dark grey circle indicates a preset is stored, a light grey circle indicates an empty preset slot. You select a source preset by clicking on a circle. You create a source preset by shift-clicking on one of the circles at the top of the source bank. So in principle you could then work with only work with one VPT preset with layers and masks etc, and then do the rest with source presets.Ī source preset saves information about all the sources, it captures the state of which video is selected in each source, playback speed, looptype, crossfade time etc. Normally you might be most interested in just creating a fixed setup for the layers and just change the content. However there are several scenarios where it might be useful to keep VPT presets and source presets separate.Ī normal situation for VPT is that you create and map your layers for a specific setup, and you don´t really need to move layers around or change their properties. This hasn´t been mentioned yet, because the default behaviour of VPT is that when you save a preset a source preset is automatically created and you don´t need to worry about this. However when you want to modify an existing preset you would probably want to switch back to the normal store mode.Īt the top of the sources section is source-preset control. If you select storenext VPT will save the preset at the next available slot, thus avoiding overwriting exisisting presets. To avoid doing this you can change the behaviour of the store button by clicking on the menu to the right of the button. If you save another preset with the same number but a different name you will overwrite the old preset. Click on the store button to save the preset. To store a preset you need to give it a unique nr and a descriptive (but optional) name, so in this example we have used 1 for the preset number (0 is a special case, don´t use this to store presets) and VPT-layer for the preset name. VPT is a real-time application that renders the output in real-time, so when you save a preset you don´t save an image or video file, but rather information about the current position of layers, which sources are used etc. Presets store information about the current state of VPT, so basically you save what you see on the output. Unlike many programs, File-save is not how you save your work in VPT. Now that you have created a layer, given it content and postioned it on our output, you want to save our output.
