Saving Window Presets
If you find there’s a particular window shape or combination of windows that you use frequently,
you can save one or more windows as a preset for easy recall whenever needed. For example,
if you’re working on a documentary within which you find you need to do a lot of face
brightening, you can create preset face ovals for close-up, medium, and wide shots, to save you
from having to customize a stock circular window for every single new shot. You can also save
groups of windows together as a single preset, in order to reuse complicated multi-
window shapes.
Window presets are available from a group of Presets controls in the option menu in the upper
right-hand corner of the Window palette.

deleting window presets
Methods of working with Power Window presets:
To save a window preset: Once you’ve created one or more windows you want to
save, click the Save as New Preset option in the Window palette’s option menu. Type a
name into the resulting dialog, and click OK. That preset is now available in the Preset
section of the option menu.
To recall a window preset: Click to open the Window palette’s option menu, and
choose a preset from the list. Loaded window presets overwrite whatever other
windows were set up in that node.
To update an already saved preset: Recall a preset, change the resulting window(s),
then click to open the Window palette’s option menu. Select Update Preset, then
select the preset name. This will overwrite the selected preset with the altered window
arrangement.
To delete a window preset: Click to open the Window palette’s option menu, and
choose Delete Preset, then choose a preset from the list. Make sure you chose the
correct preset name; there is no warning before the deletion, and you cannot undo the
deletion once it’s done.
Once recalled, windows created by presets can be modified and tracked just like any
other window.
