How to Set the defaults for Render Queue in After Effects I'm using After Effects CS3 (yeah, I know it's old) and I'm rendering my composition out. When I Add to Render Queue I have to change the settings like Render Settings &amp; Output Module every time. 

Is there a way to set these once and have AE use them every time you Add to Render Queue?
I'm pretty sure it hasn't changed since CS3 (in fact It's been the same for as long as I can remember): in Edit &gt; Templates &gt; Render Settings &gt;. Another way of getting to this dialogue is from the Render Settings drop-down in the render queue. At the bottom of the list of templates in the drop-down is Make Template… 

Choosing that brings up the dialogue box pictured below. Up the top of the dialogue box you'll find Movie Default; set that to whatever template you want to be the default for renders. If you haven't got a template that has the settings you need then you can make one here - hit the New button, set all your settings and give it a name.  I find duplicating an existing one and modifying it a useful way to go.

Same goes for the output modules, which you get to from Edit &gt; Templates &gt; Output Modules, or from the Output Modules drop-down in the render queue.
