Defining Processing Settings For Export Nodes

Use node settings to define how individual Export nodes are processed and to specify a destination for each processed result.

To define settings for an Export node:

1. Select an Export node.

   Settings for the Export node appear.

2. Set the Export Settings.
3. (Optional) Enable Create Clip Data to export a Gateway clip.
4. Set the destination for the exported files using the Path and Naming fields.
5. (Optional) Select another Export node or an Output node and define settings for another job.
6. (Optional) Set up the processing jobs in the Queue Manager. See Setting Up Processing Jobs.
7. Click Process or select a processing option from the dropdown list.

   All active jobs are processed to the destinations you set.

Exporting With Gateway Clip Data

Gateway clip files can be created using an Export node with Create Clip Data enabled. This gives you the ability to save a copy of the active setup with the exported material, allowing you to package exports with the setups that created them, or to version your exports.

NoteA Gateway clip file is an XML file which describes channels, media, and versions. You can create your own Gateway clip files to be used inside Batch, without resorting to the Export node; you might want to do this within a context of render passes interop between Flame and a 3D application. See About Gateway Clip Files.

To create a Gateway .clip file:

1. Double-click an Export node.

   Settings for the Export node appear.

2. Set the Export Settings.
3. Enable Create Clip Data and set other Clip Data Settings.
   NoteThe Gateway clip filename reflects the name of the clip being created.
4. Set the destination for the exported files using the Path and Naming.
5. Click Process or select a processing option from the dropdown list.

   All active jobs are processed to the destinations you set.
