Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 1842)

If you’re unsure which preset to choose, you can view a preset’s settings. For more
information, see
“Viewing Settings in a Preset.”
If none of the existing presets matches your needs, you can create a custom preset. For
more information, see
“Creating a New Preset.”
When you choose a different preset, the current Easy Setup changes to Custom Setup in
the Use pop-up menu. However, if you happen to select presets and an external video
setting that match that of another Easy Setup, Final Cut Pro shows that you have that
Easy Setup selected.
Note: The Final Cut Pro preferences file actually stores all presets and Easy Setups currently
selected for use. If your preferences file is deleted, you need to reconfigure your system
by choosing an Easy Setup or a custom combination of presets.
After you change a
preset (or external video
setting), your current
Easy Setup is customized.
Viewing Settings in a Preset
Below each pop-up menu in the Summary tab of the Audio/Video Settings window is a
brief overview of what each preset is used for. If you’re not sure which preset to choose,
you can view detailed information in the individual preset tabs.
To view settings for a preset
1 Choose Final Cut Pro > Audio/Video Settings, then click the appropriate preset tab.
2 Click a preset to see a summary of its settings.
