Filter Presets

When it comes to video filter presets, there are several resources you can explore to find high-quality presets. Here are a few popular options:

  1. Online Marketplaces: Platforms like Envato Market, VideoHive, and Motion Array offer a wide range of video filter presets created by professional designers and filmmakers. These marketplaces often provide previews and user reviews to help you make an informed decision.

  2. Video Editing Software: Many video editing software applications, such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and DaVinci Resolve, come with built-in filter presets. These presets are often customizable, allowing you to tweak them to suit your specific needs.

  3. Online Communities and Forums: Joining video editing communities and forums, such as Reddit's r/VideoEditing or specialized filmmaking forums, can be a great way to discover user-generated presets. Community members often share their own presets, offer tips and tricks, and discuss their favorite resources.

Regarding the impact of presets on a company's brand, here are some points to consider:

Pros of Using Presets for Brand Enhancement:

  • Consistency: Presets can help maintain a consistent look and feel across a company's video content, reinforcing brand identity and recognition.
  • Efficiency: Applying presets can save time and effort in post-production, ensuring a quick and streamlined editing process.
  • Professional Appearance: Well-designed presets can add a polished and professional touch to videos, enhancing the overall visual quality and perception of the brand.

Cons and Considerations:

  • Generic Look: If widely used presets are applied without customization, there is a risk of videos looking generic and lacking uniqueness, potentially diluting the brand's visual identity.
  • Overuse: Relying too heavily on presets without considering the specific context and content of each video may lead to a repetitive or stale appearance.
  • Brand Alignment: Presets should align with the brand's values, tone, and target audience. Using presets that clash with the brand's identity or the intended message may create confusion or disconnect.

To maximize the benefits and mitigate the drawbacks, it's essential to strike a balance between using presets for efficiency and maintaining creative flexibility to tailor them to your brand's unique requirements.

Remember, presets should serve as a starting point and can be adjusted, combined, or even created from scratch to achieve a look that aligns with your brand's vision and stands out in the crowded video landscape. Understand the use of xml presets.

Filter Presets

Hi @rigcasenza great question!

For branding pruposes I would recommend doing custom collor correction/grading to keep the style/branding consistent. If you add the same "filter" to different videos (indoors, outdoors, drone shots, stock videos) they will all look different even when using the same filter, so color correction/grading is more important than filters.

I hope this helps!

Sorry Im not sure if I understood the question clearly. Im not sure if you meant presets in Video Editing Softwares like Final Cut or Adobe Premier. 

 

In case those are the presets you meant, I hope my answer will help.

 

Presets (either those used in Editing softwares or LUTs) are tools that can help you create a specific effect easily in editing. In most cases it offers a professional look compared to unprofessional editors trying to manually do the effect in post, in less steps and in a faster time. 

 

You can look at presets as new creative tools that requires less technical expertise to use.

 

You can also look at presets as creative looks that are offered to you to choose from.  

 

However in terms of helping a company's brand, like any creative tool it has to enhance the message and it should used in context to what you really want to say or project.

 

So choosing filters like using music or deciding what color a logo should bs, must be apt for the spacific message your brand wants to project. Any Filter will not always enhance your video if it is out of context or out of sync to the tone or message of ypur video.

 

I hope I understood your question correctly and somehow helped with my opinion.
