general setup of the DVS system. Because the default settings include
configurations regarding the DVS system as well, it provides compara-
tively more settings than the project related ones. Use the default set-
tings in case you want to change the system settings or the default
values for each initialized new project. The settings of the tab Project
will be stored together with the current project in the project file only
and are therefore just temporarily available as long as this particular
project is not closed.
The Project config… menu option on the menu Options enables you
to configure and set up the project related settings of the DVS system
and software. It will open the Configuration Tool with the tab Project
activated. Then you can configure, for example, the paths for the tem-
porary data as well as other project specific settings, such as the appear-
ances of clips in the bin. All changes performed on this tab will be saved
together with the project file.
For more information and a complete description of the Configuration
Tool please consult the “CLIPSTER Configurations” user guide.
9.5.3 Defaults…
The Configuration Tool provides overall two configuration groupings:
one for project related settings (tab Project) and one for default set-
tings that will be used for the DVS system in general as well as for each
new project (tab Default).
The Defaults… menu option on the menu Options enables you to
configure and set up the system settings as well as the default values
for each initialized new project. It will open the Configuration Tool with
the tab Defaults activated. Then you can set up, for example, the
TCP/IP settings of the DVS software as well as the period for the auto-
matic save function of opened projects (autosave). The default config-
uration settings are saved automatically together with the software
when it is shut down. The project related settings available on the De-
faults tab will be used for each initialized new project.
For more information and a complete description of the Configuration
Tool please consult the “CLIPSTER Configurations” user guide.
9.5.4 Load defaults…
With the menu option Load defaults… you can load configuration
settings previously saved to a file as the new default settings of the
Configuration Tool (see section “Save defaults…” on page 9-26). The
Further information about the two configuration groupings as
well as about the project related settings can be found in sec-
tion “Project config…” on page 9-24.
