Importing and Exporting Projects in PostgreSQL Databases
If you’re using a PostgreSQL database, another set of commands let you import and export
projects using the .drp file format. You can also export .drp files from Disk Databases if you want
to export a more self-contained item to transport.
To export the currently open project as a .drp file:
Choose File > Export Project, and when the Save dialog appears, choose a location,
enter a name, and click Save. The result is a self-contained file with a .drp file suffix
saved at the location you chose.
To export a .drp project file from the Project Manager:
1 Right-click a Project icon or Item in the Project Manager, then choose one of the
following commands:
Export: Exports project data, with no LUTs and no stills. Best when you need to
export the smallest possible file.
Export With Stills and LUTs: Exports the project including both still frames in the
Gallery and LUTs used in grades. Best when you want to export the most self-
contained file and you can’t guarantee the recipient will have the same LUTs you do.
2 When the Save dialog appears, choose a location, enter a name, and click Save. The
result is a self-contained file with a .drp file suffix saved at the location you chose.
To import a .drp project file, do one of the following:
Drag the .drp file you want to import from your file system and drop it anywhere into
theProject Manager window.
Right-click any empty area of the Project Manager and choose Import, then find and
select a .drp project file using the Import Project File dialog, and click Open.
To import a .drp project file and reconfigure the gallery path at the same time:
Hold the Option key down while right-clicking any empty area of the Project manager,
and choose Import+, then find and select a .drp project file, and click Open. Upon
opening, the gallery path will automatically be updated to that of your workstation.
Project Manager View Options
Four buttons at the top right let you control how projects are viewed in the Project Manager.
Select Thumbnail or List View
Zoom slider: (Only appears in Thumbnail view) Lets you adjust the size of the
thumbnails in Thumbnail view.
Project Sort Order drop-down: (Only appears in Thumbnail view) Lets you choose the
sort order of projects in Thumbnail view.
Information: (Only appears in Thumbnail view) Lets you show or hide additional project
information displayed underneath each project’s thumbnail, including the frame size,
number of timelines within, and when that project was last modified.
Thumbnail view: Each project is represented by a large image that can be hover-
scrubbed to reveal five representative images from that project.
