Using Site Settings
When your Avid editing application opens a new project, it first searches the Site_Settings file
and loads site settings and any other settings you have placed there. Your Avid editing
application then proceeds to load any Project and User settings not included in the Site_Settings
file.
Adding settings to the site settings files is useful if you need to establish global settings for all
new users and projects, such as switcher settings, a specific start timecode for all sequences, or
various customized features of the interface.
To load settings into the Site_Settings file:
1. Open a project with the settings you want to establish as Site settings. If a project does not
already exist with the settings you want, create a project and make adjustments to the default
settings as needed.
2. Select Special > Site Settings.
3. Click a Project or User setting in the Settings list in the Project window, or Ctrl+click
(Windows) or Command+click (Macintosh) multiple settings.
4. Drag the selected setting to the Site Settings window.
Copies appear in the Site Settings window.
5. Close the Site Settings window.
All new users and projects opened from the Select Project dialog box use these settings as
the default settings.
