About the Settings Tab
The Settings tab in the Presets window allows you to manage your settings. In
conjunction with the Inspector window, the Settings tab also provides details of all the
settings with easy access to common transcoding controls.
You use the Settings tab in the Presets window (together with the Inspector window)
to create, modify, or delete settings, as well as create group folders for multiple
settings. You can also create Droplets from this window.
The Settings tab contains the Settings table (which displays existing settings) and the
necessary buttons to add, remove, or duplicate a setting, and create groups and Droplets.
