Application Preferences

app-prefs_project-prefs-button

 

To access the application preferences, from the main project screen, click the Preferences button.

 

app-prefs_project-prefs-layout

 

Here you can adjust the default system-wide preferences.

 

dv_alert

Changes will apply to all new and existing projects.

 

dv_note

Note that many of these settings can be overridden within a project.

 

The Preferences screen has a subset of screens, selectable via the tabs across the top:

 

General preferences
Capture/Conform preferences
Colour preferences
Video/VTR preferences
Rendering preferences
Control Panel preferences

Preference File

 

app-prefs_project-prefs-general-file-location-NUCODA

 

The location of the main preference file is displayed at the bottom of the General tab section.

 

Most preferences are stored in a text file called general.prefs, located in the application ROOT folder.

 

dv_note

The ROOT folder is set in the environment variable :

 

NUCODA_ROOT_V2014_1

 

Some application preferences can only be changed by editing the general.prefs file.
