Projects are saved as .ecproj files. An .ecproj file is readable JSON, so it also works with version control.

To keep a size and frame rate for later, click the + button next to Preset (Save Preset…) and name it. Your presets are listed above the built-in ones, in this dialog and in New Composition.... To remove one, select it and click the bin button (Delete Preset).
