Custom Presets
HandBrake comes with many built-in presets which cover the most common use case scenarios. However there are many scenarios and devices that many not be covered.
After you have chosen your preferred settings, you can click the "Save New Preset" button on the main window to create your own preset.
When you've pressed this button, you'll see the following window appear:
Pressing "add" will save a new preset with the details you've entered based on the settings that are currently on the main window.
Audio and Subtitles Beavhiours
Audio and Subtitle settings are special. The preset does not store selected audio and subtitle tracks from the audio or subtitle tabs. It uses rules to automatically select them for each new source or title that you selected. You can modify these rules by editing the settings on the relevant "selection behaviour" screen.
Please note, these rules do not cover all possible use cases. If the behaviours don't meet your requirements, audio and subtitle tracks will need to be handled manually after you've scanned a source before adding it to the queue.
For more information, please see Audio and Subtitle Defaults.
Default Preset
If you regularly use the same preset, you can make it the default preset that HandBrake starts with by selecting the "Make Default" (macOS) or "Set Current as Default" (Windows) option in the presets menu or by using the preset manager accessed via the toolbar.
Import and Export
You can export and import presets (singularly or many at a time) from the preset pane for backup or sharing purposes.
