Save Transport Bar Preset Dialog

The Save Transport Bar Preset dialog allows you to save your preferred transport bar setup as a preset.

To open the Save Transport Bar Preset dialog, click the Presets field on the transport bar, and select Save As.

Path: Opens the root folder of the preset in the File Explorer/macOS Finder and allows you to create subfolders for your presets.
Presets list: Lists all existing presets.
Name: Allows you to specify a name for your preset.
When a Preset Is Selected: Allows you to assign a customized playback command to a shortcut. For example, you can set a shortcut to play a range with a short pre-roll/post-roll, and another shortcut to play a range without a pre-roll/post-roll.
When Playback Stops, Restore Previous Transport Settings: Restores the settings to the state prior to starting the playback. This allows you to trigger a special play task and to automatically switch back to the standard settings as soon as playback is finished.
