2. Save time by reusing complex settings without manual reconfiguration.
* '''Artistic Styles:''' Generate stylized visuals (e.g., anime, watercolor, oil painting).
3. Apply cinematic looks instantly to any scene or project.
* '''Brand Consistency:''' Apply corporate color palettes and typography.
4. Share presets with team members to ensure creative alignment.
* '''Mood & Atmosphere:''' Match lighting, contrast, and saturation to emotional tone.
5. Adapt quickly to platform-specific styles or audience preferences.
* '''Cross-Project Reuse:''' Save presets to the [[Asset_Library|Asset Library]] for reuse.


== Workflow for Creating Style Presets ==
== How to Apply Style Presets ==
1. **Open an Existing Project**   
# In the [[Editor|Editor]], select a scene or shot.
  Start with a project that already has your preferred look, feel, and settings applied.
# Open the **Style Presets** panel.  
# Choose from built-in presets or upload a custom LUT/visual style. 
# Apply to the active shot, full scene, or the entire project. 
# Preview results instantly and adjust intensity.


2. **Access the Style Presets Panel**   
== Built-In Presets ==
  Open the [[Editor|Editor]] and navigate to the **Style Presets** section.
* **Film & Cinema:** Cinematic, Noir, Warm Sunset, Cold Thriller 
* **Marketing & Ads:** High Contrast, Brand Focus, Minimalist, Social-First 
* **Artistic:** Watercolor, Comic Book, Anime, Surreal Dreamscape 
* **Realism Variations:** Hyper-Real, Documentary, Natural Light  
* **Experimental:** Glitch, Vaporwave, Cyberpunk 


3. **Adjust Visual Parameters** 
== Integration ==
  Configure elements such as:
* Works with [[Google_Veo_3|Google Veo 3]] and [[Runway|Runway Integration]] rendering engines.
  * Color grading and tone mapping.
* Applies across [[Build_Video|Build Video]] timeline for consistency.
  * Lighting style and mood.
* Linked to [[Color_Grading|Color Grading]] for finer adjustments.
  * Camera motion and framing rules.
* Saved presets appear in [[Asset_Library|Asset Library]].
  * Text overlay style and typography.
  * Audio mixing and soundtrack preferences.


4. **Save as a New Preset** 
== Best Practices ==
  Give the preset a descriptive name and optional tags (e.g., “Cyberpunk Neon,” “Warm Cinematic,” “Corporate Minimal”).
* Use consistent presets across an entire project for continuity.
* Combine presets with [[Lighting|lighting settings]] for full control. 
* For branded work, create a custom preset that includes logos and brand LUTs.
* Test with draft renders before applying to final 4K exports.


5. **Set Usage Scope**   
== Troubleshooting ==
  Choose whether the preset is:
* **Preset looks different across shots** → Check lighting and camera settings in [[Top_Down_View|Top-Down View]].  
  * Private to your account.
* **Too strong effect** → Reduce preset intensity slider. 
  * Shared within your Organization.
* **Preset not applied in export** → Ensure "Include Style Presets" is enabled in [[Export_Distribution|Export settings]].
  * Public in the ACT 3 AI Style Library (future feature).
* **Custom LUT not loading** → Verify file format (.cube supported).


6. **Apply to New Projects**  
== Example Use Cases ==
  Load the saved preset into a new or existing project to instantly apply all visual and audio settings.
* A TikTok series with consistent pastel style.
* A cinematic short film using noir preset for all indoor scenes. 
* Corporate ad campaign applying brand color LUT.  
* Music video with experimental glitch/vaporwave presets.
