Using Frame

Presets

Use a built-in configuration or save your own output settings.

Presets collect output settings so you can reuse a conversion setup. Open the Presets inspector tab with a source selected.

Choose a built-in preset

Frame includes these starting points:

Preset Intended use
Balanced MP4 General-purpose video conversion.
Archive H.265 An H.265 configuration for archiving video.
Web Share Video prepared for sharing.
GIF Web Small A smaller animated GIF.
GIF High Quality An animated GIF with more detail.
Audio MP3 MP3 audio output.
Audio FLAC (Lossless) Lossless FLAC audio output.
Discord A video configuration for sharing on Discord.

Preset availability depends on the selected source. A preset that cannot be applied to that media type is disabled.

Names describe the intended use; they do not guarantee a particular file size or compatibility with every service. Check the actual output settings and test the result in its destination.

The Presets tab keeps reusable output configurations together.

Save a custom preset

  1. Select a source and configure it in Output.
  2. Open Presets.
  3. Enter a name in Preset label.
  4. Choose Save.

Use a name that helps you recognize the destination or quality level later, such as “Client review MP4”. The preset is saved with the app’s settings.

Apply a preset to a batch

Select Apply preset to all files beside a preset and review the confirmation. Frame checks compatibility before applying a preset to other sources.

After applying it, inspect a file from each kind of source in your queue. Sources with different dimensions or track layouts can still need individual adjustments.

Adjust or remove a preset

Applying a preset fills in the output configuration. You can then change individual settings for the selected file. To preserve an adjusted setup, save it as a custom preset with a recognizable name.

Custom presets have a Delete preset action. Built-in presets cannot be deleted.
