  • Local Media Sequencer Engine: Path to the launcher.exe in the Media Sequencer program files folder (only if Media Sequencer is running as a console application on the same machine).

  • Start MSE if not running: If checked and the Media Sequencer is not running, then AV Automation will try to execute it from the location given below.

    • Take: Use a take command when cuing.
