Global settings?
Hi –
It had been my understanding that my settings are set globally, so that, once they are in place, they will carry over from project to project.
However, I find that this often doesn’t happen on the system I’m using.
The biggest problem, since this system is shared by others, is that the Media Creation settings, which have “Filter out launch drive” and “Filter out system drive” end up being unticked — and some users therefore write data to that drive, which the commensurate problems.
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? The settings do seem to “stick” within a project, but once I go to create a new project, they go to some default setting…
Thanks.
Ron

There are 3 types of settings. Site settings (global), User (always set for that user), and Project (applies to that project only).
Now, if you’re on Media Composer you can make User and Project settings Site Settings very easily. Go to the menu bar (File, Edit, etc…) and choose Special. Click on Site Settings and a box will pop up. From your Settings tab of your Project window just grab any User or Project settings that you want to make Global and drag them into the Site Settings box.
Now, whenever you make a new project, any project settings that are listed in the Site Settings box will be set like the original project you pulled those settings from. So set your Media Creation settings how you want, drag them to the Site Settings box, and all new projects will adopt those original Project Settings.
