✓

✗

<COMPONENT_ID>_SEGMENTS

notes

Additional notes about this component

✗

Options with an environment override can be set when Studio starts, without editing the workflow. <COMPONENT_ID> is this component’s id in your workflow, uppercased, with spaces and dashes replaced by underscores and other punctuation removed — a component named SRT Input reads SRT_INPUT_PORT. Renaming a component changes its id, and so changes these variable names.
