58 Chapter 5: Settings To verify your changes: 1. In the Project window, click the Modifiers tab. Changes specified by the Settings Modifiers take precedence over parameters specified in the base setting. In the Batch window, a mod indicator appears below the project name in the Project column to indicate that a Settings Modifier was applied. For more information on indicators, see "Project Modification Icons" on page 20. 2. You can further check your settings by applying different settings to several copies of the same project. See "Testing" on page 193 for more information. Previewing Settings While modifying or choosing settings, use the Dynamic Preview window to see how the settings affect your project. To use the Dynamic Preview window: 1. Choose Windows > Dynamic Preview or press a D. 2. If the window is already open, click Update to see the current settings assigned to the project. See "Dynamic Preview" on page 205 for more details. Sharing Settings Because settings are self-contained XML files, you can easily move them between computers. You can also keep the settings for a project in that project's folder, instead of the Settings folder, for easier portability. When you need to use these settings, you must move their folder into the Settings folder located in the Cleaner application folder. When you are done with the job, move the folder with the settings specific to the job back out of the Settings folder to reduce setting clutter. To share settings with other Cleaner owners, you can attach settings to E-mail, put them on disks and even post settings on a Website. Using Aliases You can replace the Settings folder with an alias to a centralized setting folder on a different computer or server. This is helpful when using Cleaner in a large lab environment because it ensures consistency while minimizing setup time of individual work stations. Note: If you change a setting on the server, any computer currently processing a file with the changed setting continues to use the original version until it is done processing the current movie. Cleaner does not check settings while processing. Additionally, if two people attempt to change the same setting simultaneously, one or both users may receive an error message.
