Wire Options

Use the Wire options to determine how proxies are generated, whether to perform a background or foreground wire, and which workstation executes those wire operations.

The Wire options are available in the Resize menu of the Clip Library.

Wire Workstation box
  Select from the list of available workstations which one will perform the transfer, the proxy generation (if enabled), and other Wire operations. As a rule of thumb, select the workstation that is the least used. And if you are copying a clip between to remote volumes, do not select your workstation: the material will end up being copied on your framestore, and then on the destination framestore.
Include Proxy on Wire
  Enable to transfer proxies using Wire. Disable to generate proxies on the destination system.
Background Wire
  Enable to perform the Wire tasks in the background so that you can continue working in the application. Disable to perform the Wire tasks in the foreground, which is faster but prevents you from using the application.
