Publishing in the Background

You can publish one or more image files in the background while you perform other tasks. Additionally, you can use the Stonifise tool to write media to the framestore in the background. To perform any of these tasks on several files at once, you can select them all and then process them as a batch. You can assign different clip options to each file that you add to the queue. You can also import and export files in the background simultaneously.

To publish in the background:

1. In the clip library, click Tools.
2. From the Tools box, select Publish.

   The Publish controls appear.

   
   

3. In the clip library, select the clips that you want to publish.
4. From the Publish Type box, select the publish type.

   The displayed options differ depending on the publish type selected. See About the Publish Tool.

5. Set any other Publish options using the corresponding controls.
6. In the Publish Destination field, enter the shared storage directory.
7. From the Destination Library box, select a destination library.
   NoteIf your clips are not rendered and you press Alt+Tab (to toggle shells), after you click Publish Clip, corrupted frames may result.
8. 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) will be triggered upon the completion of its predecessor.

   The progress of the export job is indicated in the queue.
