VIDEO PAINT: CHAPTER ONE 269
Customizing Video Paint
The Preferences dialog box (opened by double-clicking the Status bar or
File: Preferences

) provides options for customizing certain aspects
of the program’s behavior. This is always a good place to start before you
do any editing as it helps optimize Video Paint for each project and adapts
the program to more closely match your work habits.
PREFERENCES DIALOG BOX: VIDEO PAINT TAB
1. Apply color filter controls how colors are displayed in Video Paint, based on the
NTSC or PAL color models. Select the appropriate option if you plan on having your
video played back over an NTSC or PAL device, such as a television. If you are
designing for monitor display only, leave this option clear.
2. Levels of undo/redo specifies the maximum levels of undo/redo allowed by
Video Paint (up to 99). As Video Paint allocates more memory for each level of
undo/redo, you may find that too high a level adversely affects performance. In
such cases, restrict the level to 3-4 only. You can, of course, choose not to have
undo/redo to maximize performance, but any editing performed is final.
3. Clear undo history for multiple frame actions clears the Undo history
whenever you attempt to perform an action that exceeds the number of frames in
the following Number of frames spin box. By clearing the Undo history, your
operations are carried out more quickly as memory does not need to be reserved
for undoing. However, if you clear the Undo history, you will be unable to undo any
previous actions. Leave this clear if you have enough system resources to handle
the memory demand for multiple actions.
