What More Can Be Done in Filmora's Mac Property Panel

Filmora's Property Panel on Mac keeps editing controls organized in one place, making it easier to fine-tune different parts of your video. Along with separate tabs for video, audio, color, and other settings, you can manage individual modules and save customized adjustments for later use.

Step 1. Use the arrow icons beside different modules to expand or collapse their available controls. Before adjusting a specific module, make sure it is enabled. You can then modify the available settings based on the changes required for your video.

Step 2. After adjusting the settings within a tab, use Save as Custom at the bottom of the Property Panel to store them as a preset. For example, customized settings made under the Color tab can be saved for use with other clips. To remove unwanted adjustments and return the selected settings to their defaults, click Reset.
