To go to the **Video Preset Type View**, tap Video in the [Preset Type Bar](/dot2/key_widget_presettypebar/).\
\- or -\
Press and hold ![ma](/img/dot2/ma_1-85eed0.png)  and press 9, for preset type 9 (= Video).

The Video Preset Type View is fragmented in the **smart view** and **raw video views**. The raw video views are different, depending on the fixture type.

The video preset type view is only active if the selected fixture type has video attributes.

To open the video effects view, tap at ![](/img/dot2/dot2_viewsandwindows_controlelements_titlebar17_1-0-61a72e.png) in the title bar.

## Smart View

The smart view is the first tab of the video preset type view.

_Figure 1: Smart view_

The smart view is optimized for video server with many attributes.

The smart view is fragmented in the areas:

1. Displays the [ChannelSets](/dot2/key_glossary/)
2. Displays the [Features](/dot2/key_glossary/)
3. Displays the [Attributes](/dot2/key_glossary/)

Red color indicates that this value comes from the programmer and you can store it.

## Raw Video Views

The raw video views are located after the smart view

**Important:**\
The video sliders works absolute. A tap on a video slider sets a new video value and does not follow the already set video  values.\
The respective encoders works relative to the already set video values.

In the raw video view, you control the raw video values in [natural values](/dot2/key_glossary/) (0-100) of the selected fixture type.
