You can create a VTR archive for clips of any resolution supported by your video board and VTR device. To archive and restore at a particular resolution, you must specify the appropriate video timing, which sets the resolution and framerate for the video board. When you change projects without exiting Flame, the video timing selected at start-up applies to the project you are switching to.

Archives must be written to tapes striped with non-drop-frame timecode. However, media with drop-frame timecode can be written to non-drop-frame timecode tapes, as long as the framerate of the timecodes match.
