Settings (née Preferences)

Fission's settings can be accessed from the Fission menu.


Fission's Settings window

Audio Settings

Fade around removed audio: This setting adjusts the length of audio automatically faded in and out when removing a section of audio from a file, when the Fade Around Removed Audio option in the Clip menu is on. The time length of fades can be adjusted with this setting. To prevent automatic fades altogether, turn the Fade Around Removed Audio menu option off.

Play audio through: Adjust this to change the output device through which audio from Fission plays.

Audio Scrubbing: When this setting is active, audio near the playhead will be heard as the playhead is moved.

Appearance

Theme Selector: This setting dictates how Fission will appear. The Dark theme is perfect for use in darkened spaces like theaters, while the Light theme is designed for brighter spaces. Of course, either can be used in any setting, according to your taste.

The default Match System setting follows the OS-wide Appearance setting for Light or Dark Mode. You can alternately force Fission to use the Light or Dark theme, regardless of your system-wide settings.




Fission's Dark theme

Fission's Light theme

While this manual uses the Dark theme throughout, you can easily try either theme. Fission will update immediately when you adjust this setting.

Software Update

Automatically check for software updates: With this option activated, Fission compares itself to the most current version available from our server and alerts you when a new version is available. Leave this on and Fission will help you stay up-to-date.

To initiate a check manually, click the Check for Updates… button.
