### Preset Categories & When to Use Them

#### 🟢 CVP\_MASTER — High-Quality Archive Exports

Use these when:

* You’ve finished a project
* You want a clean, lossless version
* You may re-edit the project in the future

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
* Maintain sharpness and color
* Avoid over-compressed uploads

**Presets:**

* `CVP_SOCIAL_HORIZONTAL 4K 16:9` — 3840 × 2160
* `CVP_SOCIAL_HORIZONTAL FULL HD 16:9` — 1920 × 1080

#### 🟡 CVP\_YOUTUBE — YouTube & Web Uploads

Designed specifically for YouTube’s compression pipeline.

Each resolution includes:

* **Faster Export** → quicker turnaround
* **Slower Export** → higher fidelity (recommended when time allows)

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

**Presets:**

* `CVP_YOUTUBE_4K UHD – Faster Export` — 3840 × 2160
* `CVP_YOUTUBE_4K UHD – Slower Export` — 3840 × 2160
* `CVP_YOUTUBE_FULL HD – Faster Export` — 1920 × 1080
* `CVP_YOUTUBE_FULL HD – Slower Export` — 1920 × 1080

**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

* Match the preset to your **sequence resolution**
* Don’t stack unnecessary export effects
* Keep color management consistent
* Test one export before batch exporting

Used correctly, these presets eliminate most quality complaints.
