Step 13:
Okay, now that we've got our preset,
let's put it to use. Click the Reset button
at the bottom of the right side Panels area,
then press
G
to jump back to the Library
module's Grid view, and double-click on
your video clip. Now, go to the Quick De-
velop panel's Saved Preset pop-up menu (at
the top of the panel), go under User Presets,
and you'll see the preset you just saved.
Choose that preset and now that effect will
be applied to your entire video (if you have
the Trim Video bar visible, like I do here,
you can see the effect has been applied to
the entire video).
TIP: What You Can't Apply
to Video
You can't add Clarit y, Highlights , or
Shadows from the Basic panel in the
Develop module, or anything in the Lens
Corrections or Effects panels, and you can't
use the Adjustment Brush. What might
throw you off is that these sliders aren't
grayed out, because at this point you're just
working on a still image, so everything's fair
game. So, how do you know if what you're
doing can be applied to video as a preset
or when you sync? One way is to look at
your thumbnails down in the Filmstrip
while you're editing. If you only see one
thumbnail changing (the JPEG image file),
then it's not being applied to the video.
Another quick way to tell is when you go
to save a preset. See all those things that
are grayed out in the New Develop Preset
dialog in Step 12? Those edits, even if you
did them, won't be applied to video.
Step 14:
Remember, these are all “non-destructive”
edits you're making here, so if you apply
these effects to your video and you decide
you don't like them (right now, or a year
from now), you can remove all those
effects by clicking the Reset All button
at the bottom of the Quick Develop
panel (shown circled here in red).
