A setup is a file that contains a record of all changes you make to a clip in a particular module. This record includes references to clips used—not the clips themselves. Setups let you save your work separately from clips, so you can load and work on the setup at anytime or apply the setup to other clips.

By default, each type of setup is stored in a separate directory. For example, the resize directory stores resize setups.

You can also archive setups. See Archiving and Restoring Setups.
