Transferring Clip Libraries to 2009 Extension 1 Projects
 
 
 

To access clip libraries from version 2007, 2008, or 2009 projects, you must transfer the clip libraries to a project created in version 2009 Extension 1.

You can install version 2009 Extension 1 on the 2007, 2008, or 2009 system and use Wire to transfer the clip libraries from 2007, 2008, or 2009 projects to a version 2009 Extension 1 project. See Copying Local and Remote Clip Libraries to Your Current Project.

For a Linux system running a 2007, 2008, or 2009 release where you do not wish to install 2009 Extension 1, or for IRIX® systems, you can also use the following procedure to transfer media from 2007, 2008, or 2009 to 2009 Extension 1.

To transfer clip libraries from version 2007, 2008, or 2009 projects to an 2009 Extension 1 project:

  1. Use Backdraft® Conform 2007 or any 2008 or 2009 application to create a project and a clip library on the 2009 Extension 1 system. See Creating a Project. The project and library is formatted for 2007, 2008, or 2009.
  2. Use the 2007, 2008, or 2009 application to move clips from the 2007, 2008, or 2009 system over the network into the previously created project on the 2009 Extension 1 system. You can use Background Wire to help free up the resources of the 2007, 2008, or 2009 workstation. See Copying Local and Remote Clip Libraries to Your Current Project.
  3. Create a new project on the version 2009 Extension 1 system. If you have many projects, use the upgrade project script. See Upgrading Projects to Version 2009 Extension 1.
  4. Use the 2009 Extension 1 application to open the library created in step 1 (the library is read-only).
  5. Use Dual View to drag the clips into the 2009 Extension 1 project and library.
  6. Use the 2007, 2008, or 2009 application to remove the project created in step 1. 2009 Extension 1 applications cannot remove projects created with previous versions because they are read-only.
TipIf you have 2007, 2008, or 2009 installed on your 2009 Extension 1 system, you can access the 2007, 2008, or 2009 system remotely to transfer the media using Wire without interrupting a session on that station. See Copying Local and Remote Clip Libraries to Your Current Project.
