Settings
Checkmark the items on EDIUS operational behavior you wish to enable.
- Save Window Positions
If checkmarked, EDIUS will restore the positions of windows and pallets saved when EDIUS was exited at next startup.
- Stop Playback at Frame Drop
If checkmarked, EDIUS stops timeline playback when the timeline clip cannot be played back smoothly due to its errors. If that happens, a message will appear to report it.
- Show Tooltip
If checkmarked, the tooltip will be shown when the mouse pointer is placed over a Effect.
- Enable Auto Save
If checkmarked, the open project file will be automatically saved at specified intervals (3 minutes by default). When this option is enabled, specify the interval for performing auto save. Click the value and type in a new value or adjust it by turning your mouse wheel.
