Effect Editor Settings
The Effect Editor settings and the commands in the Effect Editor shortcut menu are similar but
not identical.
Relink if
sample rate and bit
depth
The relational operators on the left for sample rate and bit depth
are similar to the relational operators for the Video parameter
“Relink if quality” menu. However, the two menus have an
additional entry, “Any,” which lets you use one criteria and
ignore the other. For example, you could select sample rate
equal to 44.1 kHz and bit depth to “Any”.
The corresponding menus on the right contain values
appropriate to the corresponding quality parameter. The sample
rate and bit depth relational operators work as a Boolean AND
operation (that is, the intersection of all constraints). These are
not available if you select “Any.”
Compression Lets you choose “uncompressed only” or “any,” which lets you
use one criteria and ignore the other. Your Avid editing
application chooses the best media available.
