Organize related renders and reuse render settings with project presets.
Projects keep related renders, scene files, and render settings together. Use one project for each production, client, or scene that you want to manage separately.
Every workspace includes a General project. New renders use General unless you choose another project, so creating a project is always optional.
On the Configure Render page, choose a project before continuing. General is selected automatically.The selected project controls where the render and scene file appear, and which presets are available after validation. You can also open a project and select New Render to start with that project already selected.
You can reassign an existing render from the renders list. This only moves the render to another project; it does not restart or change the render.
A preset saves settings that you want to reuse in one project. Presets are selective: they change only the fields you include and leave every other setting unchanged.You can include:
Resolution and resolution percentage
Compute device
Samples
Denoising type and device
Additional MP4 output
From a project
From a render
Open a project, select Presets, then select New Preset. Choose only the settings the preset should control and enter their values.
Create and manage presets from a project's Presets tab
On the post-validation page, adjust the render settings and select Save as preset. Changed fields are selected automatically, and you can review them before saving.The new preset is saved to the render’s current project.
After validation, use the Render preset section to choose:
Original settings for the settings read from the uploaded file.
Test render for a quick test with fewer frames and lighter settings.
A project preset for saved settings from the current project.
Select an option once to apply it. If you then edit a field, the selection changes to Custom. Those edits affect only the current render unless you save them as a new preset.
Choose Original settings, Test render, or a project preset after validation
In the project’s Presets tab, select the star on a preset to make it the default. A project can have one default preset.The default applies automatically when a render in that project reaches post-validation. You can still select Original settings, Test render, or another preset for that render.
Use the actions in the Presets tab to edit a preset, change its default status, or delete it.Deleting a preset removes it from future selection. It does not change renders that already used its values.
