Option Description
Auto-Save interval Specifies the length of time between attempts to auto-save
project files. The default is 15 minutes.
To avoid interrupting a logging operation, the Avid system waits
until the system is inactive before auto-saving. Use the “Force
auto-save at” option to specify an interval at which the system
will interrupt an operation to auto-save.
Inactivity period Specifies the length of time the Avid system waits while the
system is inactive before automatically saving the project files.
The default is 0 seconds.
Force Auto-Save at Specifies the maximum length of time between auto-saves.
When the system reaches this time, it will auto-save the project
files even if it must interrupt an operation to do so. The default is
15 minutes.
