Working with project properties
A large range of formats and various types of media files are
supported. Some settings in a project’s properties
are simply
informational details about the project, while others
control how your project is handled and its output. If you
have multiple projects, the settings used for each project are
stored. These settings can be saved as templates for future
use.
To view and modify project properties, choose Properties
from the
File menu. The Project Properties dialog has five
tabs:
Video, Audio, Ruler, Summary, and Audio CD. An
overview of each tab and its settings follows.
Video tab
This tab allows you to set different characteristics the
project uses to handle the video. Also, this tab displays
information about the video contained in your project. For
more information, see Modifying project video properties on page
238.
Audio tab
This tab allows you to set different characteristics the project uses to handle the audio. This page also
displays the available drive space where recorded audio is stored.
