To save the custom preset, first, highlight the effects you want to include in your preset. In this example, the preset consists of a Gaussian Blur and Colorama effect.
Next, go to the "Animation" menu and select "Save Animation Preset."
A dialog box will open, prompting you to choose where to save the preset on your computer. Name the preset and click "Save."
Now, when you look in the Animation Presets section, you should see the preset you saved. You can easily apply it to any clip by clicking and dragging it onto the clip.
