Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Understanding Presets

Before creating a preset, let's clearly define what a preset is. A preset is a saved template for a specific setting that you can reuse in different projects. This way, you can work with the same settings without having to configure them each time.

Step 2: Accessing the Fairlight Area

Start DaVinci Resolve and switch to the Fairlight area. You can do this by clicking on the music note in the bottom right corner, which provides access to the audio editing functions.

Step 3: Creating a New Preset

Now let's create a preset. Go to the dynamics settings. Double click on the dynamic options. Choose the compressor and adjust the settings to meet your requirements.

Step 4: Saving the Preset

Once you are satisfied with your settings, you can save the preset. Click on the plus sign at the top left to create a new preset. Give your preset a name, such as "YouTube Videos" or "Test", and then click "OK" to save the preset.

Step 5: Using a Preset in Another Project

After saving your preset, you can use it in a new project. Switch to another project, go to the same area, and click on "Default" at the top left. Then select your preset from the list. You will see that the same settings as before are displayed.

Step 6: Deleting an Existing Preset

If you want to delete a preset, go to the presets in the Fairlight area. Click on "Falad" at the top left and go to the "Presets Library". There, you can select the necessary filters and find your preset in the list.

Step 7: Confirm the Deletion

To delete a preset, click on the preset you want to remove. At the bottom of the list, click on "Delete". Confirm the deletion, and your preset will now be removed.

Summary

In summary, managing presets in DaVinci Resolve is an extremely useful skill. You can quickly and easily create and use presets to standardize your audio settings and save time. Deleting no longer needed presets is also straightforward and can be done in the Presets Library.
