Fast way to create new user and site settings in Media Composer
I’m excited to upgrade the version on MC. However, as usual, all the settings have to done again from scratch, as far as I’ve been told. I was going to screen grabbing everything. But it is a royal pain trying to remember what all the two-letter abbrev. stand for in the keyboard mapping and I have a bunch of site settings. Any faster, easier way?
Thanks!

Peter –
Faster/easier way is to create a new user (as you’re doing.) If you open the Settings window (command + =) and then Open Settings File (command + O) you’ll be given the option to open a Setting or Preferences File. Navigate to your existing User file (for your earlier version of MC) and select the Settings.xml. This will open up a separate window with your old (existing) settings file from which you can drag and drop individual settings that you have already created into your new User Settings tab. I believe you’ll be given the option to “Add” individual user settings the new settings, or “Replace” the new settings w/ old ones. You’ll probably want to mix-and-match at this point. But pre-set Export / Workspaces / Timeline / Keyboard settings – pretty much all set-ups – can be quickly and easily ported over to new base MC settings.
Hope that helps.
