A **production profile** is one way of making a video. It decides how long the video runs, how densely it is cut, what may move on screen, whether captions are burned in, what the finished file looks like, and where the spoken audio comes from. Open it from **Settings → Production profiles**. The screen states the rule that matters most up front: a change applies to the **next** thing produced with that profile. It never rewrites work already generated. ## Choosing a profile The **Editing** picker at the top chooses which profile you are looking at, and each one is a different kind of video — a long-form piece, a short, a social reel, an avatar-led lesson, a screen share, a talking head, an animated course, an ad cut. Under the picker you get that profile's one-line description. A profile can be switched off. The picker marks it **Disabled**, and it is not used to make anything until it is switched back on. Some profiles build on another one. When that is the case, the profile says which one it derives from, so you can see where its starting values came from. ## What a profile controls The screen is one long form, in sections. ### Scene plan How long a video runs, and how many beats — distinct moments — get packed into that time. * **Target length** — the window the scene planner aims for, in seconds. * **Beats per minute** — how dense the cut is. Higher is denser; a short paces far more quickly than a long-form piece. * **Require an intro beat** and **Require an outro beat** — force an opening beat, or a closing call-to-action beat, into every plan. ### Motion Which animation recipes the planner is allowed to use. **Allowed recipes** is a checklist grouped by what the movement does — camera moves, character moves, composition changes, data animations, held stills, text treatments and transitions. The planner may only choose from what you tick here. It is a list to pick from rather than a box to type in, on purpose: a name that is not a real recipe would quietly fall back to a still frame. ### Captions Whether captions ship burned into the picture, as a separate file, or both. * **Captions** — off means no captions are produced for this profile at all. * **Burn style** — burned-in captions are pixels in the video; a sidecar is a separate file the player loads. * **Sidecar formats** — which caption files are written alongside the video. * **Language** — as a standard language tag such as `en-US`. ### Render The output format of the finished video: video and audio codec, and a target bitrate in kilobits per second, which you can leave blank to let the encoder decide. Resolution and frame rate are shown but set by the profile's underlying composition, so editing them here would change nothing. They are displayed because profiles built from filmed footage do render from those values. ### Voice Where the spoken audio comes from. **Voice mode** offers only the modes this profile can actually run — a profile that does not use an on-camera presenter will not offer one. **Default voice** and **Default avatar** pick from the registries, and the screen says where they are managed: see **[Voices and avatars](/setup/voices-and-avatars)**. ### Auto-edit Thresholds the footage editor uses when it proposes cutting gaps and choosing between takes. Left off, it uses the shipped defaults; turn **Override the defaults** on to tune them for this profile. ### Not edited here The last section shows values that are part of the profile and are saved untouched, but are not tuned here — which image generator is used and what it falls back to, the templates behind the writing, the thumbnail set, how intros and outros rotate, and the spend ceiling for a single production. Each row says why it is read-only on this screen. The intro and outro **assets** themselves are picked in **Brand → Intros & outros**, not here. This screen only decides how they rotate. ## Saving a change The bar at the bottom of the screen tells you whether you have unsaved changes. Nothing is written as you type: **Discard** throws the edits away, and **Review changes** shows you what you are about to change before you commit to it. ## What to do next * **[Voices and avatars](/setup/voices-and-avatars)** — the voices and presenters a profile can name as its default. * **[Brand](/setup/brand-profile)** — where your intro and outro clips live.
