• Project settings are directly related to individual projects. When
you change a Project setting, it affects all editors working on the
project. Specific Project settings are stored in each project folder,
which is stored in the following location:
drive:\Program Files\Avid\NewsCutter\Avid Projects
• Site settings establish default parameters for all new users and
projects on a particular system. They can apply to particular
configurations of equipment installed at the site; for example,
specification and node settings for an external switcher. They can
also include other User or Project settings that you copy into the
Site Settings window. Site settings are stored in a separate Settings
folder, in the following location:
drive:\Program Files\Avid\NewsCutter\Settings
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 that facilitate logging, recording, and organizing
projects, and editing interface preferences, including Bin View
settings that display useful columns of information for each bin
• Project settings that reflect the specific needs of the project
By establishing these settings once, and by 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, as described in “Managing Folders and
Bins” on page 68.
