Setting your preferences
Customize the program's working environment through the Preferences
dialog box. You can specify a working folder for saving files, set undo
levels, choose preferred settings for program behavior, enable Smart
Proxy, choose the default transition effect for your project and more. To
open the Preferences dialog box, select Settings: Preferences [F6].
Setting project properties
Project Properties serve as your template for previewing your movie
projects. The project settings in the Project Properties dialog box
determine the appearance and quality of a project when it is previewed
on-screen. To customize project settings, select Settings: Project
Properties.
When customizing project settings, it is recommended that you make the
settings the same as the attributes of the video footage that will be
captured to avoid distorting the video images and have smooth playback
without jumping frames.
When you customize project properties to be the same as the desired
output settings for your project (for instance, setting project properties to
DVD settings if you will output the project to a DVD disc), you can have
more accurate previews of your final movie.
