Thanks,
Its a new HP Z800 AVID Media Composer 5.03 setup running Windows 7.
If I run Boris Red 4.3.3 in both the plugin for Composer and also the Red engine, preferences are saved. When I run AVIDfx 5.8.2 in its engine, preferences are saved. But when I use AVIDfx 5.8.2 in Composer preferences are not saved. So everytime I launch AVIDfx 5.8.2 in Composer I have to redo all my window, keyframe, export, color preferences etc. It really slows down the work flow to a nuisance.
