Description
Auto-Save interval náminutes
Specifies the length of time between attempts to auto-save project files. The default is 15 minutes.
To avoid interrupting an edit, the Avid system waits until the system is inactive before auto-saving. Use the option "Force Auto-Saveáat" to specify an interval at which the system interrupts an edit to make the auto-save.
Inactivity period náseconds
Specifies the length of time the Avid system waits when the system is inactive before automatically saving the project files. The default is 0 seconds.
Force Auto-Save at náminutes
Specifies the maximum length of time between auto-saves. When the system reaches this time, it auto-saves the project files even if it must interrupt an edit to do so. The default is 30 minutes.
Maximum files in a project's attic
Specifies the total number of files stored in the Avid Attic folder. When a bin is saved, the Avid system copies the current version of the bin to a special folder called the Avid Attic. The default is 30 files.
Keep more files if there are many editors working on the system. This ensures that all the bins are backed up.
Max versions of a file in the attic
Specifies the total number of single-bin copies stored in the Avid Attic folder. This setting prevents filling the Avid Attic with too many copies of one bin, at the risk of losing the others. The default is five copies.
Double-click loads object in
Determines what happens when you double-click an object in the bin.

New Pop-up Monitor
Creates a new Source pop-up monitor and automatically loads the clip when you double-click an object in the bin.

Source or Record Monitor
When you have the Composer monitor stretched into two monitors, loads the clip into the Source monitor or the sequence into the Record monitor.
When you are using the single Composer monitor, loads the clip or sequence into the existing Source pop-up monitor.
