Saving and loading project settings

Use the Save and Load buttons in the Project Settings dialog box to save all project settings into a file and later load them into a new project. Premiere comes equipped with settings files preset for typical programs, which you can adapt and save for your own projects. Most certified video-capture cards include preset settings files for Premiere. Adobe strongly recommends that if your capture card provides a preset file, you use it and do not manually change the settings. For information about loading saved settings, see Starting a project.

To save the custom settings as a preset for use in other projects:

1 In the New Project Settings dialog box, specify your settings, and then click Save.

2 In the Save Project Settings dialog box, type a name and description (if desired) and click OK. The settings are saved as a preset file that appears in the list of available presets in the Load Project Settings dialog box.

Save and name your project settings even if you plan to use them in only one project. Saving settings creates a backup copy of the settings in case someone accidentally alters the current project settings. These preset files are stored in the Settings folder in the Premiere folder on your hard disk, so you can back them up and distribute them if you want.
