Publishing in the Background
 
 
 

You can perform some file management tasks, such as publish, import, export, and Stonifise, in the background while you perform other tasks with your application.

To publish in the background:

  1. Access the Publish menu from the clip library. See Accessing the Publish Menu.
  2. In the clip library, select the clips that you want to publish.
  3. From the Publish Type box, select the publish type.
  4. Set any other Publish options using the corresponding controls. See About the Publish Menu Options.
  5. In the Destination field, enter the shared storage directory.
  6. From the Destination Library box, select a destination library.
    NoteIf your clips are not rendered, do not press Alt+Tab after you click Publish. Your application uses the output of your graphics card to render the final image file. If there are any other application windows on top of your Backdraft Conform window, undesired artefacts may appear in your rendered image files.
  7. From the Add to Queue box, select an option.
    Select: To:
    Add To Queue Add the job to the queue.
    Add To Queue & Execute Add the job to the queue and execute it automatically. If there are any jobs in progress, this job (and any others already added to the queue with the Add to Queue & Execute option) is triggered upon the completion of its predecessor.
  8. If you are adding more publish jobs to the queue, you can continue using the file browser to locate other files that you want to publish.
  9. To manage the Background Import/Export Queue, see Managing the Background Import/Export Queue.
