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.

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. |

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.
