Understanding Settings
Three types of settings appear in the Settings scroll list, as indicated in the third column of information: User, Project, and Site settings.

User settings are specific to a particular editor. User settings reflect
individual preferences for adjusting the user interface in the Avid
application. Individual User settings are stored in each user folder,
which is stored in the following location:
|
| – |
|
(Windows) drive:\ProgramáFiles\Avid\
AvidáXpressáPro\AvidáUsers
|
| – |
|
(Windows) drive:\ProgramáFiles\Avid\
AvidáXpressáDV\AvidáUsers

The Avid Attic folder is usually located in the same folder as the Avid
Projects and the Avid Users folders.

Project settings are directly related to individual projects. When you
change a Project setting, it affects all editors working on the project.
Specific Project settings are stored in each project folder, which is
stored in the following location:
|
| – |
|
(Windows) drive:\ProgramáFiles\Avid\
AvidáXpressáPro\AvidáProjects

Site settings establish default parameters for all new users and projects
on a particular system. They can also include other User or Project
settings that you copy into the Site Settings window.
|
| |
Site settings do not override User settings and Project settings.
|
Site settings are stored in a separate Settings folder, in the following
location:
| – |

(Windows) drive:\ProgramáFiles\Avid\AvidáXpressáPro
