Style Presets in Epitrite: Save Your Custom Looks for One-Click Reuse
When you tweak a template (custom color, custom font weight, custom animation timing) and that combination works, you want to use it again. Style Presets in Epitrite save your custom template configurations as one-click presets. Future projects load with your saved look instantly.
Here's how to build a preset library.
What a Style Preset Is
A Style Preset is a saved combination of:
- Template (which Epitrite template)
- Background settings (color, image, video)
- Typography overrides (font, size, color, stroke)
- Beat sync settings (mode, sensitivity, cuts per beat)
- Animation timings (word delay, transitions)
- Color treatments (warmth, grain, vignette)
Save once. Apply with one click.
Why Style Presets Matter
Three reasons:
1. Consistency Across Releases
Every release feels like it's from the same artist. The audience pattern-matches your visual identity.
2. Speed for Repeat Workflows
Instead of recreating your tweaks for each project, one click loads everything.
3. Brand Memory Across Months
You forget what tweaks made the lyric video for your last single look good. Style Presets store the memory.
How to Create a Style Preset
Step 1: Build the Look You Want
Open a project in Epitrite. Tweak settings until the lyric video looks the way you want.
Step 2: Save as Preset
In the project's style panel:
- Click "Save Style Preset"
- Give it a name (e.g., "Spring 2026 Single Look", "Hard Trap Look", "Bedroom Pop Cozy")
- Save
Step 3: Apply to New Projects
In a new project:
- Click "Load Style Preset"
- Select your saved preset
- Settings apply instantly
The new project now has the same template, colors, typography, and animations.
Style Presets vs Brand Kit
These are related but different features:
Brand Kit
- Sets your colors and fonts globally
- Auto-applies to every new project
- Single "kit" per artist project
- Use: long-term brand identity
Style Preset
- Saves a specific look (template + tweaks)
- Manual apply per project
- Multiple presets per project
- Use: specific looks for specific releases
Use them together:
- Brand Kit handles the global brand
- Style Presets handle specific looks within that brand
Style Preset Library Strategy
Build a library that covers your typical releases:
Preset 1: "Default Look"
Your most-used template + brand kit. Apply to 70% of releases.
Preset 2: "Loud Variant"
Maximum-energy template (Y2K Chrome, Trap Drip) + your brand kit. For high-energy songs.
Preset 3: "Calm Variant"
Calm template (Album Art Story, Notepad) + brand kit. For intimate songs.
Preset 4: "Editorial Look"
Magazine Cover or Fashion Editorial + brand kit. For "professional" releases.
Preset 5: "Aggressive Look"
Brat Dark or Trap Drip with stronger accent. For trap / drill / aggressive songs.
5 presets covers most release types. You can have 10+ for specialized cases.
Style Presets for Album Rollouts
For consistent album rollouts:
Album-Specific Preset
Build a preset specifically for THIS album's identity:
- Album cover background
- Album-specific accent color
- Album-specific typography choices
- Apply to every track on the album
Result: every track's lyric video feels like part of the same album.
Single-Specific Preset
For individual singles, override the album preset with a single-specific look. Each single feels distinct while album presets unify them.
Style Presets for Multiple Personas
If you have multiple artist projects, presets help separate identities:
Main Project Preset
Your primary artist brand.
Side Project Preset
Different alter-ego look (different colors, different template).
Production Alias Preset
For your beat / production work (often more minimalist).
Switch presets when working on different projects.
Sharing Style Presets
Currently Epitrite's Style Presets are stored locally per account. Cross-account sharing is on the roadmap.
For now: collaborate by documenting your preset settings in a shared doc:
- Template name
- Background type / color
- Font choices
- Beat sync settings
- Color adjustments
Manually apply to other accounts using the same settings.
Style Preset Tips
Tip 1: Name Presets Descriptively
"Default" tells you nothing. "Brat Green + Beat Sync Onset Medium" tells you everything. Use descriptive names.
Tip 2: Save Presets When You Find Something That Works
Don't wait. The moment you see a look you like, save it as a preset. Many "good looks" get lost to project deletion.
Tip 3: Update Presets When Your Brand Evolves
Your brand evolves. Update presets accordingly. Old projects retain their preset; new ones inherit the new version.
Tip 4: Delete Stale Presets
Presets you haven't used in 6 months are probably not coming back. Delete to declutter.
Tip 5: Test Presets Before Committing to Series
Apply a preset to 1-2 test projects before committing it to a full album rollout. Some presets look great on certain songs and off on others.
Bulk Create + Style Presets
The combination:
- Build a strong Style Preset
- Apply preset to a new song
- Bulk Create variants (Shuffle Clip + multi-template if needed)
- All variants inherit the preset's settings
Result: consistent look across 10-30 variants without manual tweaking per variant.
