Unit values changed: Changes made to the current clip are rippled to the specified
clips by the same delta of change, using whichever units make sense for the
affected parameter. For example, if the current clip had a Master Gain of 0.80 and
you increased it to 0.90, each rippled scene’s Master Gain level increases by 0.10.
–
All values are copied: The current clip’s grade is rippled to the specified clips in its
entirety. No comparison is made with the original clip’s parameters, and all memory
parameters are rippled.
Printer Light Step Calibration
For film projects, when you have tight integration with a film lab, it is possible to adjust the
printer light calibration sets to match the lab you are using. You should work with your lab
technician to set up the Lab Aim settings, the Steps adjustments, which is an incremental value,
and the Density Increment adjustment, which is the amount of correction applied within each
step. Usually, the Step and Density values will be identical, but this will be up to your lab and
your preference.
Fairlight
Video I/O Oset
The two preferences found in this section let you offset overall video playback up to 7 frames
earlier than your audio playback, to account for situations where image processing applied to
your video output is causing delays that make the video out of sync with your audio.
For example, let’s say your video output is going through a video convertor that adds a 1 frame
delay, and then connects to a video projector that adds another 1 frame of delay. You can set
your Video Monitor Offset to 2 frames to compensate, so the audio/video sync is solid.
 Video Monitor Offset: This drop-down menu lets you choose an offset from
0 to 7 frames.
 Apply Offset during Jog and Shuttle: Turning this checkbox on ensures that the
offset you choose is also applied when you use Jog and Shuttle to move through
your program.
General Settings
The two preferences found in the General Settings section both let you customize the Loop Jog
behavior that’s currently available only on the Fairlight page. Choosing Timeline > Loop Jog
enables a brief sample preview to be heard while scrubbing the playhead through the Timeline.
This can make it easier to recognize bits of dialog or music as you’re quickly scrubbing through
tracks, in situations where you’re trying to locate specific lines or music cues. It also enables this
brief sample preview to loop endlessly when you hold the playhead on a frame, so you can
pause while scrubbing and hear (by default) the current 80 ms prior to the playhead as it loops.
A pair of settings let you customize this behavior.
 Loop Jog Alignment: Three options let you choose whether you loop audio
Prethe position of the playhead, Centered on the playhead, or Post the position of
theplayhead.
 Loop Jog Width: A field lets you choose how many milliseconds of audio to loop
when Loop Jog is enabled. How many milliseconds of audio corresponds to one
frame depends on the frame rate of the video. For example, at a frame rate of 25 fps,
there are 1000/25 = 40 ms per frame, so the default value of 80 ms equals two frames
of looping.
