If the Overwrite setting is selected, an STP operation overwrites any sequence with the same video ID already sent to the playback device. |
Sequence | Effects: Dissolve Duration | Sets the default duration for video dissolves that can be used to transition between segments in a sequence. By default, the duration is set to 20 frames. You can override the default when you apply a dissolve to a sequence. |

Thumbnails | Generate thumbnails in the background | If the Thumbnails pane is open, MediaCentral UX continues to populate the pane with images if the pane is in the background (open but hidden behind another pane). To optimize performance, you can disable generation of thumbnails if the pane is in the background by clearing the check box. |
