transitions, still-image duration, preroll/postroll for sequence, and clip behavior.

t Audio : The Automation Keyframe Optimization setting is relevant when you
use the Audio Mixer to change volume or panning. Adjusting the “Linear
keyframe thinning” and “Minimum time interval thinning” settings to greater
than 30 ms makes it easier to edit the changes later.

corresponds to an Adobe Premiere Pro audio output channel. Generally, the
default settings will work fine.

autosaved project, choose File > Open Project, navigate to the Adobe Premiere
Pro Auto-Save folder, and double-click a project.

used only during analog video capture).

label colors.

Premiere Pro. It is recommended that you start with the default settings.

third-party capture cards may add their own video players, which you can
choose to use here.
