9.2.8 Save As…
The standard dialog window to save a file will open after the selection
of the menu option Save As…. This menu option allows you to save a
project file under a different name. Further information about the sav-
ing procedure itself can be found in section “Save” on page 9-6.
9.2.9 Update CineReel
The DVS CineReel is a transportable, outdoor-proof hard disk array es-
pecially designed for the on-set use of digital film capturing: The film
material is directly stored on the hard disk array, and when finished, the
array can be disconnected and transported to an editing site while the
crew continues to capture on the set with an empty DVS CineReel. At
the editing site the hard disk array can be connected to a DVS system
easily and the material will be instantly recognized. Then it can be pro-
cessed right away.
The menu option Update CineReel on the Project menu checks
whether a DVS CineReel is connected to the DVS system. Then, in the
bin a folder with the name CineReel is created and the film material
on the hard disk array is referenced to this folder. In the newly created
folder of the Edit Tool’s bin, the directory structure on the DVS CineReel
is imitated and for each clip present on the hard disk array a thumb-
nail/text entry will be available. You can then work with the data im-
mediately.
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.
Of course, a DVS CineReel can also be used to transport large
projects between DVS systems.
With the menu option Update CineReel no copying process
of any kind is initiated. Only representations of the clips with
references to the externally connected DVS CineReel are creat-
ed in the bin of the Edit Tool. Furthermore, the DVS CineReel
as a storage for video material will be too slow for editing pur-
poses in real time (e.g. transitions). Therefore, it is recommend-
ed to copy the material to the main storage of the DVS system
before processing.
Do not reference material on one DVS CineReel with the DVS
software and then connect another DVS CineReel without
saving the project first. Only if the project was saved, you may
connect another DVS CineReel and begin a new project. Oth-
erwise your changes to the first project may be lost.
