A scene is a specific sequence of shots (or a scene) within the project. You can create as many cuts per scene as needed.

When you create a scene in Lustre, a directory with the same name is created in the Project Home. With the exception of dust removal data and marry grades, the metadata for all changes made to the cuts associated with the scene is stored in a sub-directory of the scene directory. This directory is called sacc_data and includes files containing metadata for the grade, cut, as well as render, gang, and bin information. The metadata is contained in files— for example, the grade metadata is stored in a file named grdxx.grade, where xx is the number of the grade file, and the cut metadata is in a file named cutname.cut, where cutname is the name of the cut.

To create a scene:

1. In the Main menu, click Setup, and then click Scene.

   The Scene menu appears.

2. Enter a name for the new scene in the Create Scene field. If there is already a name in the Create Scene field, delete it and then enter the new name. This does not affect the existing scene.
   NoteYou can create a scene with the name of an existing sub-directory of the Project Home; in this case, Lustre recognizes the directory as a scene and places the required scene metadata directory inside it.
3. Click Create.

   The new scene is added to the Scene list. It is highlighted in grey, indicating it is the currently selected scene.
