The “field editing function” can be used to ensure that projects move smoothly when, for example, checking out projects edited on a desktop PC and editing them in a limited manner on a laptop PC. When a project that has been checked out by field editing is opened, a message is displayed to prevent duplicate editing of the project.
Collect the project and source clips referenced by the project in a specified folder on a removable USB storage media. Instead of the original source files, proxy files for limited editing also can be checked out.
The [Check Out] dialog box appears.
When checkout is completed, the project is closed, and the [Start Project] dialog box appears. [Check out] is displayed in [Status] of checked out projects.
You can check the detailed information of clips transferred by project checkout by the following operation. Right-click a clip on the timeline or in the bin, and click [Properties]. You can confirm the directory of the checkout source file and the clip type (proxy/high-resolution) at checkout by clicking the [Check out info] tab.
[Checked Out]
|
Click [Browse], and specify the collection point (e.g. removable USB storage media) of the project or source clips. Check [Create folder with project name] to create a folder with the project name in the destination folder. You can enter a comment in the [Comments] field. You can check the amount of free space at the checkout destination and the size of the project data for checking out and field editing at [Drive Space] and [Required Space]. The numerical value of [Required Space] differs according to the [Check Out Source Files] and [Check Out Target] setting. |
[Check Out Source Files]
|
[Proxy]
Check this item to collect the proxy at the checkout destination. The checked out project references the proxy. A proxy will be automatically generated if there is not proxy. [HiRes]
Check this item to collect the original source files at the checkout destination. When copying only parts currently used on the timeline, set the margin. |
[Copy only L clip for stereo clips]
|
Displayed only in the stereoscopic edit mode. Check this item to collect the L side of the stereoscopic clip at the checkout destination. When both L and R sides is included in a single file, the clips are copied as they are. |
[Check Out Target]
|
Select the clips to be collected at the checkout destination. When [Only timeline (Opened Sequence)] is selected, only the clips currently used on the timeline of the currently open sequence are collected. When [All] is selected, both the clips currently used on the timeline and the clips registered to the bin are collected. |
The checked out project is displayed as [Checked out] at [Status] in the [Start Project] dialog box.
It is recommended to set automatically run partial transfer so that clips added in editing at the checkout destination are automatically transferred to the project folder. Auto-run of partial transfer can be set by [Source] in [User Settings] → [Partial Transfer]. Select [From Removable Media and Hard Drive] in [Target Clip], and check the required 2 items in [Auto Transfer].
To execute auto-run of partial transfer, the clip must be displayed on the Player, the In and Out points must be set, and the clip must be imported to the timeline or bin by button operation.
When only the proxy or source including the proxy has been checked out, the project automatically opens in the proxy mode.
Project settings can be changed also in checked out projects.
Additional checkouts are not possible at checkout destinations.
When the proxy mode is canceled on a project from which only the proxy was checked out, a diagonal line is displayed on the clip on the timeline and the clip is displayed as a partial offline clip.
When only the proxy is checked out for editing, the frame display during trimming and the background during title clip editing appear as a checkered pattern.
The checkout source project is displayed as [Check out] at [Status] in the [Start Project] dialog box.
The [Check Out Status] dialog box appears.
The [Check In] dialog box appears.
Open the checkout source project file, and click [Open as read-only] in the [Check Out Status] dialog box. Click [File] on the menu bar, and click [Field Editing] → [Check in].
The project opens with editing details reflected.
The checkout source project cannot be renamed even if a project file with a different name has been checked in.
The proxy that was used at the checkout destination is not copied when it is checked in.
[Project file]
|
Displays the project file to check in. By default, the checkout destination and project name set in the [Check Out] dialog box at the time of checkout are displayed. Any project file can be selected by clicking [Browse]. |
[Add/Update file]
|
Displays any files updated at the checkout source and files added or updated at the checkout destination from checkout onwards in a list. Select from the list how to process additional or updated files. When [Use Original] is selected from the [Processing] list, the files are linked to the source files at the checkout source. When [Copy to Project Folder] is selected, the source files at the checkout source are copied and linked to the project folder at the checkout source. File properties can be confirmed by clicking |
You can discard checkout information.
The checkout source project is displayed as [Check out] at [Status] in the [Start Project] dialog box.
The [Check Out Status] dialog box appears.
Open the checkout source project file, and click [Open as read-only] in the [Check Out Status] dialog box. Click [File] on the menu bar, and click [Field Editing] → [Undo check out].
When a checkout source file is saved under a new name, it will be saved as a file with checkout information canceled.
When the checkout source project is not saved after checkout is canceled, the cancel will be invalidated and the checkout status will be maintained.
