Note: If you are using a Mac OS X operating system, select the Director menu, instead of the Edit menu, to access
Preferences.
3 To set the Cast window to appear in either List or Thumbnail view, select the appropriate Cast View option.
If you want your preferences to apply to all Cast windows, select Apply To All Casts.

5 To select the columns that appear in Cast List view, select List Columns options. See
To specify the maximum number of cast members to appear in the Cast window, select a value from the Thumb-
6
nails Visible menu.
This option doesn't limit the number of cast members that can exist in the cast. If you have a small number of
cast members, you can hide the remaining unused cast positions to make better use of the vertical scroll bar. The
default is 1000.
To specify the number of thumbnails in each row of the Cast window, select an option from the Row Width
7
menu.
The options for 8 Thumbnails, 10 Thumbnails, and 20 Thumbnails specify fixed-row widths that are
independent of the window size. If the Cast window is smaller horizontally than the width of the cast row, you
must use the horizontal scroll bar to reveal the rest of the cast. The Fit To Window option automatically adjusts
the number of cast members per row to fit in the current width of the Cast window. In this mode, the horizontal
scroll bar is disabled because the entire width of the cast is always in view. The default is Fit To Window.
To set the size of each cast thumbnail image that appears in the Cast window, select one of the following options
8
from the Thumbnail Size menu:
Small 44 x 33 pixels
Medium 56 x 42 pixels (default)
Large 80 x 60 pixels
Thumbnails always maintain the standard 4:3 aspect ratio.
If the thumbnails appear fuzzy, they are probably appearing in larger than their original size. To correct this,
change the Cast window preferences thumbnail setting to a smaller size. Click OK when prompted about regen-
erating thumbnails.
