Using Workspaces
Your Avid editing application provides default layouts of windows and tools designed to utilize
the application interface efficiently. These layouts are organized as workspaces, and the default
workspaces include the following:
• Audio Editing
• Color Correction
• Source/Record Editing
• Effects Editing
•Capture
If you are accustomed to working with a particular group of windows arranged and sized in a
particular setup, you can assign them to a workspace setting that you can then recall with a
workspace button.
For example, during capture you might want to display the Capture tool and Video Input tool in
specific locations. During effects editing, you might want to display the Effect Palette and Effect
Editor in particular locations and sizes.
While in a workspace, you can move tool windows or open and close tool windows. The next
time you select that workspace, the tool windows appear with the arrangement you set for the
workspace.
You can assign up to 12 buttons that let you switch between workspaces. Workspace settings are
user settings, so different users can have separate workspace arrangements. This is useful if there
is more than one user accessing the same Avid system. Each user can assign up to 12
workspaces. You can also link the mode buttons in the Timeline palette to specific workspaces.
And you can map the Workspace buttons in the Command palette to toolbars in the Timeline; in
the Tool palette, or to a keyboard setting.

You cannot assign certain tool windows to a workspace, such as the Hardware tool, the
Communication (Serial) Ports tool, and the Media tool.
