Real-Time Audio
Dissolves
When Enabled is selected, you can play audio dissolves (also called crossfades) as
real-time effects. Select Disabled if you experience an audio performance delay in your
Avid editing application.
Dissolve Midpoint
Attenuation
Controls the method your Avid editing application uses for audio dissolves:
• Const Power –3dB: Uses constant power to maintain a consistent sound level
through the midpoint of the dissolve.
• Linear –6dB: Uses a linear gradient to maintain a consistent amplitude through the
midpoint of the dissolve.
Option Description
Option Description
Auto-Save interval
n minutes
Defines the interval between attempts to auto-save project files. The default is 15 minutes.
To avoid interrupting an edit, your Avid editing application waits until your system is
inactive before auto-saving. Use the option “Force Auto-Save at” to specify an interval at
which your Avid editing application interrupts an edit to make the auto-save.
Inactivity period
n seconds
Defines how long your Avid editing application waits when your system is inactive before
automatically saving the project files. The default is 15 seconds.
Force Auto-Save at
n minutes
Defines the maximum interval between auto-saves. Once this time elapses, your Avid
editing application auto-saves the project files even if it must interrupt an edit to do so.
The default is 17minutes.
Maximum files in a
project’s attic
Defines the maximum number of files stored in the Avid Attic folder for each project.
When a bin or script is saved, your Avid editing application copies the current version of
the bin or script to a subfolder within the special folder called the Avid Attic. Each project
has its own subfolder and each bin or script saved in a project has its own subfolder within
the project folder. The default is 1000 files per project. The overall file count for the entire
Avid Attic will reflect the files stored for each project on the system.
Max versions of a
file in the attic
Defines the maximum number of single-bin or script copies stored in a project's attic. This
setting prevents filling the project's attic with too many versions of one bin or script. The
default is 50 versions.
