Preset Categories & When to Use Them

🟢 CVP_MASTER — High-Quality Archive Exports

These exports are large file sizes but preserve maximum quality.

Presets:

  • CVP_MASTER_FULL HD 16:9 — 1920 × 1080

  • CVP_MASTER_4K UHD 16:9 — 3840 × 2160

  • CVP_MASTER_4K DCI — 4096 × 2160

Best practice: Store these in your Master folder from the Project Folder Template.


🟣 CVP_SOCIAL — Social Media Exports

Use these for:

  • Instagram

  • TikTok

  • Reels

  • Shorts

These presets are tuned to:

  • Hold up against platform compression

🟡 CVP_YOUTUBE — YouTube & Web Uploads

Designed specifically for YouTube’s compression pipeline.

Each resolution includes:

  • Faster Export → quicker turnaround

The slower presets effectively process the video more thoroughly to preserve detail.

Recommendation: If possible, upload in 4K — even if your timeline is 1080p — for better compression results on YouTube.


⚪ CVP_TRANSPARENT — Alpha Channel Exports

Use this preset when you need:

  • Transparency

  • Overlays

  • Rotoscoped elements

  • Motion graphics exports

Preset:

  • CVP_TRANSPARENT (ProRes 4444+)

This exports with an alpha channel and is ideal for compositing workflows.


If You’re Not Sure Which Preset to Use

A quick rule of thumb:

  • Final archive? → CVP_MASTER

  • Instagram / TikTok? → CVP_SOCIAL

  • YouTube? → CVP_YOUTUBE (Slower if possible)

  • Transparency needed? → CVP_TRANSPARENT

You can also refer to the PDF guide included with the download for a quick reference.


Best Practices
