Recently I spent a while editing a video just as I like it.
Can I save that project as a template, so other videos can be opened and take advantage of these settings?
Thanks in advance.
Whalebat,
It's yeses -- and nos. When you choose the overall settings for a movie, [E] key sort cut, there is an option to have those settings be the default for any new project.
Your effects on individual objects can be saved for future use -- do a right click and use 'Video effects' >> 'Save video effects...' with a meaningful name so that you can easily find it again with 'Load video effects...'.
If you have applied key frame animation you can save the effect curve for use later:
Not the option to combine the curve with the object length. If you don't use it (and generally you won't), a three second zoom will be just that even if applied to a ten minute clip. If used you can have have a preset like 'zoom in, hold, zoom back out' applied to equal thirds no mater how long the clip.
I don't think there is any way of saving any special settings you might use with a transition.
Hope this helps,
Carl
Hi,
I don't think that you understand yet what you are doing. You created a video and used the various tools - titles, fades, effects, etc. in MEP to do so. You did not create a movie template. To better understand movie templates, create a new project and then in the Media Pool, Import tab, Movie Templates, select a template and you will see what a movie template looks like. This is not something that you can easily create. You can create various pieces, however.
Look in the manual or go to Help in the menu, search for Templates and read up on this. There are movie templates, title templates, effect templates, movement effects templates, style templates, Intros/Outros, etc. Some you can do yourself, but you will have to first understand what it is you are doing, how to make them and use them, and why.
Enjoy your reading.

I realise that mostly any effects etc that I'd use would be unique to the project as all video is different.
I just tried the save video effects and that's perfect for my needs.
Thanks for your explanation.

I know when I create a project it's not a template.
I did have a look at the manual but couldn't find an answer to my question.
That said I hope you enjoyed your keyboard exercise.
Keeps you fit !

Sorry if you found my answer lacking, but I could only work with the little bit of information that you provided. Next time, please provide more complete information.

No need to apolgise.
Carl answered my question with the information provided.
Your answer was in it's own way informative.
I haven't used the software in a while and forget !
Life's to short, I post the question and walk away (run away )
When I return a kind indvidual generally points me in the correct direction.
You just need a sense of humor to ..........
Read the manual !
