# Presets

Presets are pre-loaded commands that you can issue to a Videohub. Think of a preset like a macro for ATEM switchers.

Presets normally are run against the video router on which they were created, but RouteEffect can optionally run a preset on any video router. 

You can press `Command-Shift-P` to go to the Presets section when connected to a video router.

## Creating a Preset

To create a preset, follow these steps:

1. Connect to a video router
2. Go to the `Presets` section
3. Tap `+`
4. In the sheet that appears, enter a name for your preset
5. Optionally choose and icon and color for your preset
6. In the Video Output Routing, Input Labels, and Output Labels sections, toggle those settings you want stored in the preset
7. Tap `Add` to save the preset

## Running a Preset

To run a preset, tap its button on the Presets page. RouteEffect will confirm that the preset was designed to run against the video router, and prompt you to confirm.

If you try to run a preset that was not designed for your video router, RouteEffect will warn you, but you will still be able to run the preset should you desire to do so.

## Filtering Presets

Use the filter button in the upper-right corner to change what presets are shown:

* **This Video Router**: Only show those presets that match the model and unique id of the currently selected video router.
* **Similar Video Routers**: Show those presets that match the model of the currently selected video router.
* **All Presets**: Show all presets in RouteEffect.
