Modifying a Project

You can modify any project that appears in the Project box on start-up or during a session as long as it is not currently in use.

If you want to modify proxy management options, you can only modify the currently loaded project and only in mid-session (from the Preferences menu). The currently loaded project is indicated in the Project box in the Preferences menu by a light blue LED to the left of its name.

To modify a project:

1. Do one of the following:
   - If you are modifying a project on start-up, select the project you want to edit from the Project box and then click Edit. If the project exists on a remote framestore, select the framestore and volume (if applicable) and click Open. Then select the project and click Edit.
   - If you are modifying a project in the middle of a session (you are already on the Flame Desktop, click Preferences, select the project you want to modify from the Project box in the Project Management section of the Preferences menu, and then click Edit.
   NoteIf you have a long list of projects to sort through, you can use the Sort Order box and arrow to sort the projects by frame resolution, name, or creation date, in descending or ascending order.
