How not to get display to default to frame count
Posted by Steve Pankow on February 22, 2007 at 4:48 pmMCA 2.2.10 on XP. Has Avid provided a way in later versions to have the source monitor tracking information menu display anything else besides frame count upon boot up? I’d like to set it permanently for timecode, as I’m not a film editor.

Have you tried making your settings a site setting?
anything 24fps

February 23, 2007 at 4:22 pmPoint taken. But why would I want to make my settings site settings? Then I’m just imposing my workflow on somebody else who might not like it. It’s a simple fix IMO if Avid would just take the damn time.

Site settings don’t seem to uh… set.
Life. Style. Never a Shortcut.
No one knows everything, everyone knows something and sometimes we can’t remember
anything… that when we go to the COW! -

What version of Avid are you running? This seems to break in about every other version, but in 3.0 it’s fixed (finally!).
If you’re on 3.0 but you’re using settings from a previous version, you may need to make a brand new user to get it to stick, but in 3.0 all of my setting are sticking.
Michael.
