Before creating a project, set a project format according to the input format of camera and output format of the destination, and register it as a project preset in advance.
Set the project format according to the format of sources to be used and the final export format. In EDIUS, you can register formats that you frequently use as project presets, and start a project quickly.
Registration of project presets can be easily performed by simply selecting preset formats of video and audio.
