Apple Final Cut Pro 6 - Manual (Page 1787)

304 Part IV Settings and Preferences
 Timeline Options Tab (p. 315): These are the default display options used when a new
sequence is created. This is where you can change the default number of video and
audio tracks for new sequences. For more information, see Volume I, Chapter 9,
“Timeline Basics.”
 Render Control Tab (p. 315): This tab allows you to choose the render quality of new
sequences you create. For more information, see Volume III, Chapter 29, “Rendering
and Video Processing Settings.”
 Audio Outputs Tab (p. 316): This is where you can choose the default audio output
preset used for new sequences. If none of the audio output presets matches your
audio configuration, you can create your own custom preset in this window. For
more information, see Volume III, Chapter 2, “Assigning Output Channels and
External Audio Monitors.”
Important: Once a sequence has been created, you change its settings by choosing
Sequence > Settings, not User Preferences. User Preferences establishes the default
preferences for new sequences, not sequences that already exist.
General Tab
This tab contains fundamental preferences relating to application launch, creation of
new projects and sequences, and automatically scheduled events such as Autosave and
Auto Render.
