User Palette settings
•
User Palette Color buttons: These colors can be freely edited and named. Click any color to open
the standard Colors window and change that particular color. Double-click the text boxes to
edit the names. These names are displayed as color options in different color selection menus
(staff styles, note attributes).
Other settings
•
Factory Defaults button: Click to reset any changes you made in the Colors pane.
Movie settings
Movie settings are used to determine the movie offset, volume, and tempo value.
When Show Advanced Tools is selected in Advanced preferences, the following are available:
•
Movie Start field: You can enter the SMPTE offset value directly in the Movie Start field. This is
independent of the SMPTE offset for the project, and allows you to work from bar one (1 1 1 1
in the control bar), even if the video timecode—at a particular point in the video—is several
minutes into the movie file. Put simply, this makes your life easier when creating a soundtrack
for all, or part, of a movie file. You can fine-tune the offset of internal and external video in
Video preferences, which affect all projects.
•
Movie Volume slider: Sets the level of the audio track.
When Advanced Editing is selected in Advanced preferences, the following are available:
•
Follow Tempo checkbox: Makes the movie run at the set tempo value (see Basis Tempo field)
until it receives a tempo change message from the Tempo track.
•
Basis Tempo field: Sets a tempo value for the movie.
