User Manual

The Loader preferences.
Defaults
The Defaults section includes two settings to determine how color depth and aspect ratio are
handled for Loaders.
 Loader Depth: The Loader Depth defines how color bit depth is handled when adding
a Loader. Choosing Format means that the correct bit depth is automatically selected,
depending on the file format and the information in the file’s header. Choosing Default
sets the bit depth to the value specified in the Frame Format preferences.
Cache
The Cache preferences allow you to control how disk caching operates in Fusion. You can set
how and where the cache is generated, when the cache is removed, how the cache reacts
when source files are not available, as well as many other cache related options. This is not to
be confused with RAM cache, which is controlled in the Memory preferences.
 Disable All Local Caching: This setting disables local caching.
 Cache Files from Network DiskCaches: If a tool has disk caching enabled, and the
disk cache files are stored remotely on the network, then enabling this option will use a
local copy of those cache files, similarly to the local cache on a networked Loader.
 Enable Local Caching of Loaders: Files will be copied into the LoaderCache path set
below or in the Path Maps preferences.
 Cache Multi-Frame Files: Files like AVI or QuickTime will be copied into the
LoaderCache path. This may take some time if the file is large.
