  • Creating Export settings question.

    Posted by Paul Long on April 23, 2008 at 4:01 pm

    Hello All,

    I have a question that I’ve been trying to find the answer to for a bit without any luck, so I was hoping someone might be able to help me out. I know that when you create an export setting in a project and Save As, the template will save in your user settings. What I was wondering if there is a way to create that template on the AVID so anyone using that machine would be able to chose that template? Any help would be most appreciated! Thank you for your time and have a great day.

    You can also save your settings to site settings. MC and XPress are different. Assuming you are on a PC, in MC activate your main project bin. Go to file>open site settings. In XPress, activate your main project bin, go to file>open settings file, and navigate to your settings file (typically c:>program files>Avid>Avid Xpress>settings.
    Just make sure to have the project window active before you try any of this. Once the settings window is open, you should be able to drag most settings into the site settings bin.

    I’m doing the paths by memory, so they may or may not be exact.

    Thank you for the responses. I went with the Site Settings option, and I actually found a nice little Settings guide after some more searching yesterday. You can find it here.

    Maybe someone else will use it in the future. Thanks again.
