Settings and Options in the Media Manager Window

The Media Manager has a number of options, many of which affect one another. Some
options become unavailable for some operations, and in other cases, some options
become permanently turned on. When certain options are dimmed, it’s usually to ensure
that clips outside your selection don’t lose the media they need when you process your
media files.
