Customizing Settings
Viewing and Changing Settings
The Settings tab in the Project window displays settings that you can cus-
tomize to build a personal editing environment. You’ve seen a number of
these settings in previous chapters; but now, you’ll use them to customize
your workspace.
First, realize that all changes you make to the user settings alter the current
user profile. This is desirable because when each modification is stored in
your user profile, you can use that profile, and its keyboard/interface con-
figuration, wherever you choose to edit.
To view or change a setting:
1. In the Project window, click the Settings tab.
2. Double-click the name of a setting to open a window that lists the
options you can adjust. When you change the options, the new setting
will take effect immediately.
For example, if you double-click the Trim settings and select “Auto
focus when entering Trim mode,” every subsequent time you enter Trim
mode, the Timeline will zoom into the transition.
NOTE Media Composer
also has project and site
settings that will not alter
your user profile but will
affect your project and
system, respectively. To
determine which settings
are user, project, and site
settings, simply expand
the Project window to
the right to display the
Setting Type column.
