When you load entries
from an archive, Flame reads the table of contents from the
medium.
NotePartition entries
in archives created from older versions of the application are loaded
into Flame as project entries.
The MaxLibrarySize token
in the software initialization configuration file specifies the
maximum size (in MB) of clip libraries. Set the MaxLibrarySize token
to allow the current clip library to accommodate the entries you
are restoring from the archive. When you archive to a VTR, the clip library
size required to restore the archive is recorded in the Header Info Slate.
See the Autodesk
Visual Effects and Finishing Configuration File Reference Guide for
a description of the MaxLibrarySize keyword in the software initialization
configuration file.
When you load a VTR archive,
a confirmation is required before any action can be aborted.
