Kookaburra Cut export presets — the preset JSON schema, exporting through a preset or a custom EncodeSpec from the terminal, and creating/editing user presets at ~/Kookaburra Cut/export-presets/. Use when asked to "export for <platform>", "make an export preset", "change export quality/bitrate", "export smaller/for the web", "two-pass export", "H.265/HEVC export", "loudness target", or anything touching src/export/presets/, ~/Kookaburra Cut/export-presets/, or kookaburra:run --preset/--encode-json.

# kookaburra-export-presets How Kookaburra Cut's export presets work and how to drive them from the terminal (v11 · M7–M8). ## The architecture in one paragraph A preset is a **data-only JSON document**. The frontend resolves it into a fully-resolved `EncodeSpec` and Rust builds the ffmpeg argv from that spec only. **THE FROZEN-PATH RULE:** an export carrying NO spec runs today's byte-pinned legacy argv (`libx264 -preset medium -crf 18`, native res, 60 fps) — presets are a separate argv family that the standing baselines and `Verify ×2` never see. The modal's "Kookaburra Cut Standard" row and any `kookaburra:run` call without `--preset`/`--encode-json` take the frozen path. - Bundled presets: `src/export/presets/*.json` + the lineup in `src/export/presetRegistry.ts` (explicit imports; a structure pin asserts every doc parses — extend the test when adding one). - User presets: `~/Kookaburra Cut/export-presets/<slug>.json`, listed as `ws:<slug>` (`export-presets` is a reserved project slug). Write them directly as files or via the app's Save-as-preset. - Output naming: preset/custom exports write `<project>-<aspect>-<preset-id>.<ext>` (`-custom` for ad-hoc specs); the frozen path keeps the plain `<project>-<aspect>.<ext>`. ## The preset document schema (version 1) | Field | Type | Notes | |---|---|---| | `version` | `1` | required; newer versions are refused, never mangled | | `id` / `name` / `description` | string | description = ONE Australian-English sentence f
