Chapter 2

To duplicate a setting, perform the following steps:

1. Go to Project window | Settings tab.


2. Click on a setting to select it.
3. Use any of these methods to duplicate the setting:

‰‰ Select Edit menu | Duplicate


‰‰ Press cmd/Ctrl + D
‰‰ Right-click on a setting and select Duplicate

Naming settings
Start by hovering your cursor over the setting name. As you slowly move your cursor to the
right, you'll see it change from the hand icon to the arrow icon, which will allow you to click into
that entry cell and type in.

Activating alternate settings


When there are multiple settings available, only one can be active at a time. It's the one with
the check mark that Media Composer pays attention to. You can change which alternate
setting is enabled by clicking just to the left of it. This will move the check mark and make
that setting active. There are two notable exceptions to this, however. Custom Bin Views and
custom Timeline Views can only be activated using the Bin View Menu located at the bottom
of every bin or the Timeline View Menu located at the bottom of the Timeline Window.

Alternate settings ideas


The following are some useful alternate settings to get you started:

ff Keyboard: You could create several keyboard layouts, each customized for a specific
task (for example, editing, capturing, multicamera editing, audio mixing, and so on).
My suggestion is to start with your personalized editing keyboard that already has
your customized mappings for various functions, Workspaces, Timeline Views, and
so on. Then duplicate that keyboard, rename it, and make the specific (most likely
minor) changes you want for the new task.
ff Grid: You may find that it's faster to preset a couple of different grid display settings
and then switch between them by moving the check mark than having to reconfigure
it each time. For example, I have several different grid displays for different aspect
ratios along with varying combinations of Safe Title, Safe Action, and assorted
grid lines displayed. More information on grid settings can be found in Chapter 3,
Polishing Gems.
