Migrating EDIUS projects

  • You have existing EDIUS projects created with GV STRATUS version 4.0 and below in your system.
  • You just upgraded your GV STRATUS system to version 4.5 and above.
  • You have installed the EDIUS Project Management tool.
  • The EDIUS Lock bin must not be deleted until all projects are saved again in EDIUS.

You must use the EDIUS Project Migration tool to migrate your projects after upgrading the GV STRATUS application.

  1. Launch the MS-DOS Command Prompt and change directory to the location of the EDIUS Project Migration tool.
  2. To test the migration and view the EDIUS project structure in an XML file, you need to use the "–x" option and do one of the following:
    • If you have EDIUS Lock in your system, enter the following command:
      EDIUSProjectMigration.exe –x=c:\temp –t core-server-name
    • If you don't have EDIUS Lock in your system, enter the following command:
      EDIUSProjectMigration.exe –x=c:\temp –t –s core-server-name
      Note: The “-s” option is needed to scan the entire file system. If not, the tool will only scan the EDIUS Lock bin.

    You can view the XML file in the directory that you specified on the command line.

  3. To migrate your EDIUS projects, do one of the following:
    • If you have EDIUS Lock in your system, use the following command:
      EDIUSProjectMigration.exe –m core-server-name
    • If you don't have EDIUS Lock in your system, use the following command:
      EDIUSProjectMigration.exe –m –s core-server-name
      Note: The “-s” option is needed to scan the entire file system for EDIUS projects.

EDIUS Projects directory displays under the EDIUS Projects node in GV STRATUS and EDIUS applications.
