follows:
Application:
Maximum undo levels: enter the number (between 0 and 100) of undos
(Ctrl+Z) you would like to make available while you work on your video
production. Setting a higher number consumes more CPU resources.
TV format: select the TV format (NTSC or PAL) for your video. This format
should correspond to the region in which you plan to play your video (if you
burn it to disc).
Use drop frame timecode: if your selected TV format is NTSC, select "Yes" to
synchronize the timecode of your video to its video length in the timeline.
Show sound waveform in timeline: select to display the sound waveform in
the timeline that represents the sound levels in audio clips.
Enable HD video processing (shadow file): select this to speed up the editing
of high definition video by enabling CyberLink PowerDirector to process the
file faster. Enabling this consumes more CPU resources.
Auto delete temporary files every: select to have CyberLink PowerDirector
automatically delete temporary files created while editing, every specified
number of days. Click on the Manually Delete button if you want to select and
delete specific temporary files to free up disc space.
