‘archive’ attribute from them. Once all the files and folders have had their attributes removed Liquid
Silver will be able to operate on that project.
Project.project File
If the .project file is not located in the same folder as the project Liquid Silver will not be able to ‘see’
that project. This file can be recreated by creating a new text file and saving it with the project name and
a file extension of .project.
ARCHIVING FILES FOR AN OS UPGRADE
If you want to archive all of your Liquid Silver files for the purpose of upgrading your system, we
recommend the following process:
1. Backup Project
2. Backup Titles
3. Backup Media
4. Backup Render Files
Perform upgrade procedure(s). Then restore all of the Liquid-related files to their original locations with
careful attention to make sure the files paths are as they were before the upgrade.
1. Restore Render Files
2. Restore Media
3. Restore Titles
4. Restore Projects
Please note that if after starting Liquid again, imported clips are still not properly linked (media marked
as offline or showing “!”), you can re-link imported clips to the media. In the rack with the missing
media, select “Verify Media” and “Link” as your Media Action. If Liquid cannot find the media
automatically, it will prompt you to point to it. If logged clips are still offline, please check if the
directory containing them is properly mapped in the Media Management settings. The mapped path
must always point to the directory one level above the “reels” folder (e. g. “r:\FSMediaAV” if the clips are
located in “r:\FSMediaAV\reels\…”).
