Selecting a Project and User on Start-up
Users
A
user is a profile that provides:
- EditDesk display preferences
- Module preferences
- Hot key assignments for user interface
controls
- A filesystem environment (home directory)
for managing preferences
Your user profile is
saved every time you switch to another user or exit Smoke.
User preferences are maintained independently of the projects that
you are working on. By managing your own user, you can:
- Save EditDesk preferences such as user interface, timeline, Player, soft
effects settings, as well as clip information display
options. See
Setting Preferences.
- Customize pen and tablet preferences
such as pressure sensitivity and tablet margins. See
User Interface Preferences.
- Modify default hot keys and create new
ones using the Hot Key Editor. See
Managing Hot Keys.
- Customize grids and guides for the Player
and image window. See
Working with Grids and Guides.
- Customize module-based
preferences such as the colour of the crop box and object icon transparency
to set up modules how you want. See
Saving Setups and Preferences.
User preferences are
maintained in the user home directory on the system disk.
