Managing Flare Libraries from Flame

As an assistant to Flame, Flare does not share the same permissions as Flame. Although Flare libraries are read-only to Flame, you can enable read-write access for Flare libraries in order to perform library management tasks.

To enable read-write access of a Flare library from another system, the library must not be locked by the Flare system (it must not be the current Flare library).

To enable read/write access to libraries:

1. From the application, access the clip library from the Desktop or double-click the Library node in Batch.

   The Library status bar indicates all Flare libraries as read-only.

2. Enable R/W Access.

   The Library status bar no longer indicates that the library is read-only. You have read-write access to all libraries in the current project (except the current library in Flare) until you disable the R/W Access button or exit the clip library.

   NoteIf you are unable to modify media in a library in which you enabled read-write access, the library may still be locked by a Flare system.
