Setup guide

Using this tool instead of manually re-creating your projects is the recommended approach, as it reduces
the time needed to migrate multiple projects, and prevents human error.
NOTE The copyProjects tool does not copy any media. It only re-creates projects and copies their settings and
setups to the current version. You still have to transfer your media using the network library.
To copy projects using the copyProjects tool:
1 Open a terminal and log in as root.
2 Run the copyProjects script:
/usr/discreet/<product_home>/bin/copyProjects
NOTE The copyProjects tool requires no command-line arguments.
The tool detects all projects from previous versions, and returns the following message:
Projects will be copied to version <version_number>
Do you wish to continue?
If the version returned by the script is the newly installed version, answer Yes and continue this
procedure. Otherwise perform the steps in To change the application version projects are copied to on
page 54.
3 Confirm the projects you want to copy.
The tool creates a copy of each project for the current version. The string _copy is appended to the end
of the new project name.
4 Use the network library to transfer media into the copied projects.
To change the application version projects are copied to:
1 Stop Stone and Wire by typing:
/etc/init.d/stone+wire stop
2 Unlink the Wiretap startup script by typing:
unlink /usr/discreet/sw/sw_wiretapd
3 Link the Wiretap startup script to the latest version by typing:
ln -s /usr/discreet/wiretap/<product_version>/ifffsWiretapServer
/usr/discreet/sw/sw_wiretapd
4 Start Stone and Wire by typing:
/etc/init.d/stone+wire start
5 Run the copyProjects script again.
See the Compatibility topic in your application help for instructions on transferring clip libraries from
previous versions.
