Archive the clips and setups belonging to projects created in earlier versions of Autodesk products and then restore them in the latest version for full read-write access to the project's media. You can also create new projects and then use the Network menu (Wire) to get read-only access to clip libraries belonging to projects created in earlier versions of Autodesk products.
There is metadata associated with clips in Inferno 2009 that did not exist in earlier versions of the products. When you transfer material using the Network menu or restore an archive of older material, Inferno applies the missing metadata according to default settings. These default settings (for both restoring archives and transferring clips using the Network menu) are defined in the Archiving menu. See Setting Preferences When Restoring Archives from Previous Versions.
To transfer clips from an older clip library using the Network menu:
The network library uses Wire to access the clip libraries created in versions of Inferno earlier than 2009. Clip libraries created in versions earlier than 2009 are marked as read-only.
