About the Project Setup Directory

Setups are file-based resources such as effects settings and LUTs, and are managed in a set of subdirectories in the project's setup directory.

When you create a project, the project's setup directory appears in the Setup Directory box. The many setups and their directories are actually stored in /usr/discreet/project/<Project Name>/, and are copied from the reference setups stored in /usr/discreet/<Version of the application>/.

You are not restricted to these directories when you load or save setups: use the file browser to locate a different directory, or use project shortcuts to browse the setup directories of other projects on the same system.

To have the new project share the setups of an existing project:

1. From the Setup Directory box, select the project with the shared setups.

   Any setups already saved to the existing project are made available to the new project.

To copy the setups from an existing project:

1. From the Setup Mode box, select Copy From.
2. From the Projects box that appears, select the project from which you want to copy the setups.
