Save All Presets - Quick Video Tutorial

Can you post this to you tube? I and probably many others, have a Fractal Tutorial playlist I can save it too.

I'll see if inspiration strikes to remake this. This is currently not a video that can be posted to YT, it's an animated PNG (why it's autoplaying and repeating).
 
I'm newish to Fractal so not fully understanding how this differs or is more beneficial than creating a backup using Fractalbot before a new release. Would you mind explaining for us noobs?

This is not a backup, but a way to quickly save multiple presets under the installed firmware to get gapless to work for example.

You definitely want to do a full backup before installing new firmware. In case something goes wrong you can restore the previous firmware and this backup and your system is identical to before you attempted the firmware upgrade.

When you've installed the new firmware though, all presets will have a marker indicated that they where last saved on a previous firmware. If that bugs you (it bugs me) the two most common way to solve that is to restore the backup and that will save all presets as you're restoring, or you can use the method in the video I showed above and that will also re-save all presets.

Ahh, got it. Thank you for the detailed explanation. I've definitely been creating full backups prior to firmware updates and after significant changes to presets and custom layouts etc. I hadn't previously noticed the marker mentioned but I'm sure now that I know it's there, it'll keep me from being able to fall asleep at night. Damn it, man!

It bugs me too. Thanks for the post.
 
That marker/highlight is an indicator that your presets need to be resaved or restored under new firmware. I am a big fan of having a visual indicator that reminds the user that further action is required as part of the firmware update process.
 
How can I slow down the video or pause it. Its moving to fast and have no idea what you are doing in it.

In YouTube go to Settings (gear icon in lower right) and change the 'Playback Speed' to 0.5 (halfspeed) or whatever works best for you. Great way to learn fast solos btw as the pitch of the song is retained despite the lower speed.

Update: Just noticed the video you were referencing is not on YouTube. Will leave the post up in case anyone hasn't discovered the speed control on YouTube.
 
I made this reminder video for myself how to re-save all presets for a new release and thought I'd share. Enjoy.

Is there a reason that the update cannot do this for us automatically, without changing some random setting for all? Seems like the computer could just ask to re-save, which I'd guess to be 99.999% desired at large. This obligatory user step is pretty weird, IMO.
