Project Configuration File Templates
 
 
 

When you create a project, you select a template from which your project's configuration file is generated. These templates are based on a resolution and framerate, and define the display environment. Project templates do not prevent you from working with clips of other resolutions and frame rates. However, some functions, such as display on a broadcast monitor, may not be supported.

These templates are located in the /usr/discreet/<product_home>/cfg/linux-x86_64/template directory.

TipThis directory contains an extensive list of templates for all supported display environments, some of which may not be suitable for your workflow. To make template selection easier, use the mkdir command to create a directory called unused in the directory /usr/discreet/<product_home>/cfg/linux-x86_64/template. Use the mv command to move templates you do not use to this folder. When you use the Create Project menu, only those templates that remain will be available.

Select the template from the following table that corresponds to the resolution of your project.
