Additionally, with the project file the bin, the timeline, the viewing set-
tings, the output settings, etc. will be set anew and the layout will be
updated.
9.2.3 Recent files
The Recent files option on the Project menu opens a submenu where
you can find project files that were recently opened in the DVS soft-
ware. From the submenu select a file to work with the respective project
again.
9.2.4 Insert Project…
The menu option Insert Project… enables you to import already fin-
ished and saved projects into the currently loaded project. The bin as
well as clips present in the timeline, including all transitions and effects
settings, will be imported. With this feature you can, for example, as-
semble a master project from smaller projects which contain individual
scenes.
In general the menu option Insert Project… works like the menu op-
tion Open…, but instead of opening a project, it will be inserted into
the currently active project at the position of the timeline cursor. The
clips in the bin of the inserted project will be added to the bin of the
current project in a further subfolder carrying the name inserted
project. Further information about the menu option Open… can be
found in section “Open…” on page 9-4.
In the Edit Tool only one project file can be processed at a time.
If you open another project or activate the menu option New,
the currently active project file will be closed. However, if you
have already performed changes to the project, you will be
asked by the program if you want to save the current project.
The VTR task mode of the I/O Tool that is optionally available
uses project files different from the ones usually saved via the
DVS software. Further information about this can be found in
the “CLIPSTER I/O Tool” user guide.
You can adjust the number of files that will be listed on this
submenu via the Configuration Tool (see “CLIPSTER Configu-
rations” user guide for more details).
You can adjust the inserting of projects to your liking with the
Configuration Tool (see “CLIPSTER Configurations” user guide
for more details). There you can, for instance, adjust the name
of the bin subfolder where the bin clips will be added.
