The four heights
The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Execute — do the immediate task
+I need a custom color, speed and crop configuration saved for future Reels. Tweak the contrast and saturation, set playback speed to 0.8 for all cutaways, apply a 9:16 crop with safe margins, then save these settings as a named preset called SlowWarm_9x16 so I can apply it across current and future projects.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I send this to the content team, make the effect preset easy to reuse: collect the color grade, speed change and crop into one named preset, preview it on a short clip, and show what each parameter will toggle when applied. Warn if any saved parameter will overwrite manual clip-level adjustments so I can avoid losing creative tweaks.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+I tried saving a preset but it didn't include the crop I set.
I built a look—+15 contrast, -10 saturation, 0.8x speed and a tight 9:16 crop—then saved it, but when I applied it to another clip the crop didn't carry over. I need to know if crops are excluded from presets or if I missed a save step. Which is more likely and what's the single check to confirm whether crop settings can be bundled into a preset here?

Become — change the pattern
+I waste time recreating the same settings across projects.
I keep remaking the same grade, speed and crop for every campaign because our team has no shared presets, which eats hours each week. Should I enforce a shared preset library where editors add approved looks, or get everyone to maintain a personal quick-presets file and sync weekly? Recommend the one change that yields the biggest time savings and how to roll it out without breaking current edits.

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
