Chapter 2

By default, Media Composer provides you with some Workspaces that have been pre-named
and waiting for you to set them up. You can also create your own Workspaces.

More time-saving features related to Workspaces are discussed after this. See the Creating
Bin Layouts, Linking Bin Layouts with Workspaces, and Mapping Workspaces and Bin
Layouts recipes.

How to do it...
To customize Workspaces, perform the following steps:

1. Go to Windows menu | Workspaces.


2. From the submenu, do either of the following:
‰‰ Select an existing Workspace
‰‰ Select the New Work Space command

3. Once a Workspace is selected or created, it is activated and is said to be the


"current" Workspace. The currently active Workspace will have a check mark
next to it in the menu.
4. Customize the work environment to your needs and taste. Open the tools you want to
help you perform a specific task. Arrange and resize the tools, the Timeline Window
and the Source/Record window exactly as you'd like them, including placing tools
into tabbed sets.
5. Once your tools and interface windows (Bin Layouts are discussed in the next section)
are arranged as you like, you'll make Media Composer remember that Workspace
layout. Go to Windows menu | Workspaces | Save Current. You must do this step or
the Workspace layout will not be saved. Remember to select Save Current.
6. Once the Workspace is saved, you may move and close interface windows and
tools as needed without actually updating the layout. Because you don't save those
changes, the next time you select that Workspace it will return to its previously saved
configuration. If you make changes and you do indeed want to update the currently
active Workspace, then select Windows menu | Workspaces | Save Current. If you
find yourself updating your Workspaces frequently, you may find it convenient to map
the Save Current menu selection to a button in the interface or on the keyboard.
See the Mapping buttons and menu selections recipe later in this chapter for
more information.
