Configuration Files >

# Overview

Configuration files are ASCII text files that define the working environment for your application. Keywords in the configuration files define certain global and project-specific parameters such as I/O devices, workstation display settings, project environment directory paths, framerate, timecode, and colour space. You can open a configuration file using any text editor, such as kedit.

There are two kinds of configuration files:

The software initialisation configuration file
  is parsed when you launch the software.
The project configuration file
  is parsed when you select a project in the software.

Although you should not have to regularly edit these files, it is important that you become familiar with them for the occasional instance where editing them is necessary.
