There
are two ways to archive clips with unmanaged media:
- Stone mode: the media is automatically
written to the archive and becomes managed. This ensures that material
will not be overwritten accidentally in the shared storage when
you restore the media. When you restore the media, the clips will
reside on the local framestore as managed frames. To make these
clips accessible from the shared storage again, you must publish them.
- Linked mode: Only the path to the media
is archived. You can later restore the clip in the original form
as unmanaged media, provided the media resides at the original paths
saved with the archive. If the source clip is not found at restore
time, it is displayed as a checkerboard pattern image.
Archiving
files using the linked option significantly reduces the amount of
space required for your archived clips. It also alleviates bandwidth
when archiving to a VTR. Using Linked mode, you can archive both
video and audio files. An archived clip with unmanaged media has
an attached unmanaged media icon corresponding to the file extension.
To archive a clip with unmanaged media:
- From a clip library, select the clip
with unmanaged media to be archived.
TipYou can use the Search
feature to easily locate all the clips with unmanaged media in your
library. See
