NTSC devices choose 12%, for PAL 10%.

temporary folder for these types of operations you prevent Video Editor from using
the default hard drive folder. This will minimize the chances of Video Editor
interfering with other processes your computer may be running in the background.

Video Editor's Source Window. (You need a VMR-compatible display card to use this
option).
