Enables or disables the option to save comments for revisions.

Specifies the external application used for editorial roundtripping, Avid Media Composer or Adobe Premiere.

Specifies the naming convention of panels exported as clips for editorial.

Note:  This setting also determines the naming convention used for clip names in editorial publish email notifications.

Specifies the naming convention of the sequence exported to editorial.

Note:  The chips located under the Editorial Clip Name and Editorial Sequence Name preferences show what information type you can include in the filename format. Click a chip to add it to your filename convention. See Setting Naming Conventions for more information.

Specifies the file path to the version of Photoshop you want to use.

Specifies how to open panels in Photoshop:

• Open as Separate PSD - opens the selected panels in Photoshop as separate .psd files.

• Open in Layer Comps - opens the selected panels in Photoshop as layer comps in a single file.

• Open in Timeline - opens the selected panels in Photoshop in the Timeline, as frames in a single file.

When enabled, opening a panel in Photoshop opens the master image, if one exists. Flix opens the .psd file with all information including hidden layers and empty groups.

When enabled, annotated panels open in Photoshop with their annotations shown on an additional layer.

Choose whether Flix sends Timeline or Clip markers to Premiere.

• Timeline markers apply to a particular timestamp in the sequence and appear on the timeline.

• Clip markers apply to a whole clip within a sequence and appear at the beginning of the clip.

Note:  The Marker Type you choose means that Flix only reads that type. For example, if you have Clip selected and Editorial add Timeline markers in Premiere, they are ignored by Flix.

Specifies the type of Avid video codec used for exporting to Media Composer:

• DNxHD 36 (DNxHD LB)

• DNxHD 45 (DNxHD LB)

• DNxHD 115 (DNxHD SQ)

• DNxHD 120 (DNxHD SQ)

• DNxHD 145 (DNxHD SQ)

Note:  Higher data bit rates generally produce higher quality images, but the files exported require more storage space and take longer to transfer.

Specifies the default duration for clips sent to Media Composer in frames. (For example, 480 frames or 20 seconds for a 24fps show).

Toggle ON to send every panel as a clip retaining its duration set within Flix. This is useful to retain the timing established by a recorded pitch, saving you time and avoiding redoing work. See Preserve Sequence Timings from Flix for more information.

Warning:  Use Flix Timings must be enabled if you want to send camera move keyframes from Storyboard Pro to Avid. If you disable this control, you can only send .mov files to Avid and the Panels with Camera Move control is disabled.

When Enable Mark In is ON, sets the frame on which to set the Mark In point. The default is 120 (5s in for a 24 fps show).

Toggle ON to include a Mark Out point on each clip.

When Enable Mark Out is ON, sets the frame on which to set the Mark Out point. The default is 360 (15s in for a 24fps show).

Warning:  Setting your Mark Out point to a value lower than the Mark In point may create an unreadable .aaf file.

Choose whether to deliver panels with camera moves from Storyboard Pro to Avid Media Composer as a .png file with the Motion Effect applied, or as a QuickTime.

• PNG and 3D Warp - this option preserves the camera move keyframes from Stroyboard Pro so that you can edit them in Avid and send them back to Flix without having to reproduce the effect.

• MOV - the camera moves from Storyboard Pro are burned into the clip so you can't adjust the keyframes.

Warning:  Use Flix Timings must be enabled if you want to send camera move keyframes from Storyboard Pro to Avid. If you disable this control, you can only send .mov files to Avid and the Panels with Camera Move control is disabled.
