You need to configure your Avid editing application before you can interact with the asset
manager. For more information, see the Avid Interplay Installation Guide.
Interplay Folder Settings
Windows Standard Alt Key
Behavior (Windows only)
Switches between standard Windows and Avid application Alt key behavior.
When this option is selected, pressing and holding the Alt key together with
another key works as a keyboard shortcut for certain Windows actions (for
example, opening menus).
When this option is deselected, pressing and releasing the Alt key and then
pressing another key works as the Windows keyboard shortcut. Pressing and
holding the Alt key together with another key works as a keyboard shortcut for
certain Avid functions. This is the default option.
For more information on Windows shortcuts, see the Windows documentation. For
more information on Avid shortcuts, select Help > Shortcuts.
Automatic Num Lock
Activation (Windows only)
When this option is selected, your application automatically sets the numeric
keypad in numeric mode the next time you start the application. When this option
is deselected, the Num Lock key on the keyboard controls the mode of the numeric
keypad.
With either selection, you can use the Num Lock key to change the mode of the
numeric keypad.
Automatically Launch Last
Project at Startup
When this option is selected, your application opens your last project when it
starts.
Use Classic Character
Mapping
When this option is selected, your application uses default text character mapping
tables from older versions of Avid editing applications. These default mappings
differ from current character mappings. Using the classic mappings might correct
some text display problems in the Title Tool — for example, the display of Greek
text or of special characters. For more information, see “Controlling Character
Mapping for Title Text” in the Help.
