Watchfolders
Watchfolders are folders on a hard drive or other storage medium
that are monitored by Pinnacle Studio. When the contents of a
watchfolder change, the Library is automatically updated.
You can create as many watchfolders as you wish and optionally set
them up to watch for only one media type (video, image or audio)
instead of all three, the default.
To designate a folder on your system as a watchfolder, click the Add
folder button below the watchfolders list, and navigate to the folder
you wish to add. To cancel watchfolder behavior, select the folder in
the list and click the Remove folder button.
Apply Changes directs the Library to update its catalog in light of the
watchfolder changes.
Audio device
This setup page provides the parameters available for recording
devices (such as microphones) that are connected to the computer.
Click the device name to access the Windows settings dialog for the
device.
Event logging
Messages are logged in this window during certain operations, such
as importing a number of files. You can check here for details about
any problems that may have occurred during these operations.
Import
The default options for the Pinnacle Studio Importer may be set
here; however, you can adjust or override them in the Importer at the
time of importing.
Folder options: View or set the default storage locations for media
and projects that are to be physically copied during import; unlike
linked imports, including the Library’s Quick Import feature, which
simply link to existing files without relocating them. The folder
locations are initially set to the user’s music, video and images
folders as configured in Windows, and to the default folder for
saving Studio projects.
