Customizing Your Work Environment

Settings overview
There is a great deal of customizability in Avid Media Composer; much of it can be achieved
through various settings. The following discussions provide a helpful overview.

Types of settings
Media Composer has three types of settings as follows:

ff User Settings: These apply to modifications you make and are stored as part of your
unique User Profile settings in the Avid Users folder. User settings include things
such as customized keyboards, render settings, Timeline Views, Bin Views, and more.
User Settings are entirely separate from Projects, which allows you to use them along
with any Project and at any workstation. We will see more information on User Profile
Settings later in this chapter.
ff Project Settings: Project Settings are located inside the Project folder along with
the bins and folders that you created. Changes made to Project Settings affect it and
any other editor(s) who work with that Project. Project Settings include information
about the video format, audio configuration (for example, sample rate), video display,
and more.
ff Site Settings: The word "site" in this case means your computer workstation and/or
associated hardware such as tape decks connected to that system. Site Settings are
useful for making specific settings available to all new projects and new users. For
emphasis, Site Settings will only be put into effect when a new Project or a new User
Profile is created. When Media Composer creates a new Project or new User, it first
looks at the Site Settings file before loading any Project and User Settings that
are not in that file. This can be a real time saver for things that are used over and over
again, for example custom Export Settings, Deck Configuration Settings, Safe Color
settings, Interplay settings, and more. Information on customizing Site Settings will
be covered later in this chapter.

Duplicating settings to create alternate versions


Settings can be duplicated and then customized, so you can have alternate versions available
when you need them.

One thing to be aware of is that when you display your settings (Project Window | Settings
tab), the selections within the Project window's Fast Menu (the hamburger-looking icon in the
top-left corner of the Project Window) will be different from when the Project Window is set
to display bins. If the menu is set to display only the active settings, rather than all settings, it
can often cause confusion when you duplicate settings as they will not be visible immediately.
For emphasis, make sure that when you're duplicating settings that the Project Window's Fast
Menu is set to display all settings.
