Understanding Settings
1338
Types of Settings
There are three types of settings:
• User settings are specific to a particular editor and reflect individual preferences for
adjusting the user interface in your Avid editing application.
User settings are stored in each user folder.
n
Never use a user settings file that was opened in the MediaLog
™
application.
• Project settings are directly related to individual projects. When you change a Project
setting, it affects all editors working on the project.
Project settings are stored in each project folder.
n
For information about the location of the user and project folders, see “Avid Projects and Avid
Users Folders” on page 46.
• 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. 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:
-(Windows XP) drive:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents\Avid
editing application\Settings
- (Windows Vista and Windows 7) drive:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Avid editing
application\Settings
- (Macintosh) Macintosh HD/Applications/Avid editing application/ Settings
For more information, see “Using Site Settings” on page 1347.
Examples of Ways to Use Settings
If you organize and manage your settings carefully, you can use them to speed your workflow.
For example, you can use settings to address specific needs for one stage of your workflow.
Because you can have multiple versions of settings in your Settings list in the Project window,
you can also establish settings specific to one user on your team and that user’s work tasks.
For example, you can create:
• Two Bin settings — one that automatically saves more often when you are editing
intensively, and one that automatically saves less often when you are doing organizational
work in the bins.
• Multiple Capture settings for capturing various types of source material.
