Name
 Name: Type a name for the project.
Default Event
 Default Event: Choose the default Event for the project.
Starting Timecode
 Starting Timecode: If you want your project’s timecode to start at a value other than
00:00:00:00, type a starting timecode value.
Drop Frame Timecode
 Drop Frame: Select the checkbox to turn on drop frame timecode (this option
appears only for 29.97 and 59.94 fps media).
In non-drop frame timecode, the timecode counter counts at a consistent rate
without dropping any numbers from the count. Non-drop frame timecode is
available as a display option for every frame rate.
In drop frame timecode, frames 0 and 1 are skipped the rst second of every minute,
unless the minute number is exactly divisible by 10.
Video Properties
 Format: Choose the video format (a specic method of encoding the video).
 Resolution: Choose the frame size of the video.
 Rate: Choose the frames per second (fps).
Audio and Render Properties
 Audio Channels: Choose whether to present the audio as multichannel surround
sound or as stereo.
 Audio Sample Rate: Choose the audio sample rate for your project (the number
of times a signal is measured—or sampled—per second). A higher sample rate
produces higher-quality audio and larger le sizes, and a lower sample rate
produces lower-quality audio and smaller le sizes. Which sample rate you choose
to work with depends on the source material you’re working with, and the nal
destination of your audio.
 Render Format: Choose the codec to use for your project’s background rendering.
