Finishing the Project

Once you are finished working on your project, you can process the results, export or output any finished media to files or to tape, and back up or archive any relevant project media and data.

When finishing the project you can:

Use the Unlink and Relink tools to perform any conforming operation separating the media of a clip from its metadata, reformatting the metadata of an unlinked clip to another resolution, recapturing the associated media, and relinking the metadata to the newly captured media. See Unlinking and Relinking Media and Clips.
Process a clip to create new media that incorporates any soft effects, timewarps, and dissolves. You can publish a clip to create media that resides outside of Autodesk storage (in a shared storage device or area) and a soft-imported clip that references that media. See Processing and Publishing.
Save your edits using an EDL or OMF file. See Exporting EDLs, or Importing and Exporting OMF Files.
Export clips, image sequences, audio files, and video files. See Exporting Media Files.
Output clips to tape. See Clip Input/Output Using a VTR.
Output video and audio using VTR emulation. See VTR Emulation.
Output 2K film resolution images to an HSDL-compliant device. See Clip Input/Output Using HSDL Devices.
Archive the project. Once a project is complete and the final clips have been output, it is a good idea to archive its clip libraries, setups, and EDLs. Archive the project to tape or to file, and generate online tables of contents to make browsing and restoring archives easier. See Archiving.
