Style Presets

Overview

The Style Presets feature in ACT 3 AI lets creators apply predefined or custom visual styles across scenes, shots, and projects. Presets ensure consistency in tone, color, and atmosphere, whether you’re creating cinematic films, marketing ads, or social media videos.

Key Capabilities

• Cinematic Looks: Apply LUTs and filmic styles (e.g., noir, sci-fi, documentary).
• Artistic Styles: Generate stylized visuals (e.g., anime, watercolor, oil painting).
• Brand Consistency: Apply corporate color palettes and typography.
• Mood & Atmosphere: Match lighting, contrast, and saturation to emotional tone.
• Cross-Project Reuse: Save presets to the Asset Library for reuse.

How to Apply Style Presets

1. In the Editor, select a scene or shot.
2. Open the **Style Presets** panel.
3. Choose from built-in presets or upload a custom LUT/visual style.
4. Apply to the active shot, full scene, or the entire project.
5. Preview results instantly and adjust intensity.

Troubleshooting

• **Preset looks different across shots** → Check lighting and camera settings in Top-Down View.
• **Too strong effect** → Reduce preset intensity slider.
• **Preset not applied in export** → Ensure "Include Style Presets" is enabled in Export settings.
