Project presets

Post by slowtiger »

It would be nice to be able to store project properties (dimensions and framerate are essential) so I have a list to choose from when I create a new project. I'm switching between jobs and it is a bit error-prone to always have to type in the correct values.

I agree. Project Settings has a 'Custom' option, but it doesn't create presets.

So, instead, I create templates with different project settings. For example...

To do this, I save the custom project files to the Templates folder in my Custom Content Folder...

And because I don't need the native Moho Templates, I moved them to a folder I called Disabled...

Image

This way, I see only my own Templates in the menu.

My first Endless Nachos tutorial was about this topic. You can watch it here...

How to Make A Moho Template! Endless Nachos, Pt 1


It would be cool if we could make our own presets in Project Settings in a future version of Moho, but in the meantime, maybe this will help.
