The section "Resources" in the User category from the Configuration tab enables you to set up the general settings for resources to improve your workflow. In addition you can influence the (initial) properties of specific resources like videos, image sequences and others. Note that User Resource settings influence the local instance only while Global Resource settings influence also remote instances. In a Multi-User environment they are shared with other Places.

Image Sequence![]() In addition, the number of threads for an image sequence can be defined. This number determines how many images of the Image Sequence will be preloaded in memory. Likewise, the arrangement of the frames within the image sequence can be determined. For example, an Image Sequence can be played forward or backward, or as a combination of both. The "Display FrameSync FPS based on" dropdown defines which site is used as the basis for displaying an Image Sequence in the timeline. The following is an example using an Image Sequence that consists of 600 images: - The selected site runs with 60 fps. -> Duration of the Image Sequence is 10 seconds, and therefore the main media duration in the timeline is also 10 seconds. Or - The selected site runs with 50 fps. -> Duration of the Image Sequence is 12 seconds, and therefore the main media duration in the timeline is also 12 seconds. |
Text Input![]() All other options apply only to newly added text assets. |
