This window will appear when you launch a new project. It lets you configure key project settings on creation of the project.

Label Description
Composition Name and Colour Control the name of the first in the project, and its colour in the timeline.
Duration Set the length of the composition in the project.
Renderer Select a renderer to add to your project. See NURA Rendering Architecture
Colour Space Set the working colour space for the project.
Resolution And Frame Rate Set the resolution and framerate targets for the project.
Presets Select a preset resolution from the drop down menu. This will override the above settings.
Viewport Sizing Controls how the viewport scales to match the render resolution.
- Change Resolution To Fit will scale the rendered resolution to fit the size of your render viewport on screen.
- Scale To Fill will render the whole resolution of your project, and then scale it down to fit the viewport.
- Crop To Fit will render the whole resolution, and display it on your viewport with no scaling applied.
Composition Mode Manage how the project treats different compositions in the same project.
- Isolated, each composition is treated exclusively, and cannot be combined. Useful for Real-Time Exports where each composition is treated as a separate scene.
- Composited, compositions can be layered on top of each other, creating a single project where each composition is blended together to one output.
