# Video Presets

A **`video_preset`** is a group of profiles. The adaptive streaming output, generated by profiles, improves playback experience. Based on your subscription package, one preset can contain up to 6 profiles.

If preset includes profiles with different segment durations (2s and 10s), the lower segment duration will be used for every profile. Different orientation will lead to different display aspect ratio when switching the profile, causing bad playback experience.
