Defining Settings
You can use the Settings scroll list to establish a hierarchy of settings that
address the specific needs of each production phase.
For example, you can establish:
• User settings for the assistant editor — Facilitate logging, digitizing,
and organizing projects
• Project settings — Reflect the specific needs of the project
• Bin View settings — Display useful columns of information for each
bin
c
Never use a User settings file that was opened in an Avid editing
application such as Avid Symphony, Avid Media Composer, Avid
Film Composer, Avid Xpress, or Avid NewsCutter.
By establishing these settings once, and selecting the appropriate setting or
bin view in context, you can save time and effort that would be spent
searching for information or adjusting bin headings on-the-fly. You can
also save these settings along with your template for use on similar
projects.
Reviewing Basic Settings
The following are basic system settings to review at the start of your
project:
• Film Settings
• Bin Settings
• Logging Settings
To view the settings:
t Double-click each setting in the Settings scroll list of the Project
window.
