Creating and using render settings templates

You can create templates that save commonly used render settings. These templates appear in the Render Settings pop-up menu in the Render Queue window. You can specify a default render settings template for movie rendering as well as another for creating a single frame. You can also save all render settings templates to a file to use on another computer.

To set the default render settings templates:

1. Choose Edit > Templates > Render Settings.
2. To specify a default template to be used when rendering movies, choose a template from the Movie Default pop-up menu. To specify a default template to be used when rendering a single frame, choose a template from the Frame Default pop-up menu.

To create a new render settings template:

1. Choose Edit > Templates > Render Settings.
2. Click New.
3. Specify the render settings you want, and click OK.
4. Type a name for the new template and click OK.
