2.5 Notes on Project Management

To display material of a very high resolution or to enable a real-time

play-out of some operators (e.g. the secondary color correction) the

DVS system may create proxies as well as prerendered files. Both ways

to maintain a real-time workflow are based on the same principle: They

use calculated extra files to either enable a play-out (prerendering) or

make your working environment more comfortable (proxy generation).

The location where these extra files are stored is saved project specific

in the project file, i.e. each project file can have a different directory for

proxy data and the exact location will be stored in the project file.

Therefore, it is suggested when working with proxies or prerendered

material, to store the project’s data in a directory of its own. DVS rec-

ommends, when working with different projects, to create for each

project a project specific directory on your main storage where to save

the project file. Beneath it create a subdirectory for the additional data:

This structure guarantees a clear and easy to manage project.

You can set the storage location of such data for the currently loaded

project with the Configuration Tool of the DVS software in the group

Project of the tab Project (see “CLIPSTER Configurations” user guide

as well as section “Working in Real Time” on page 2-11 for more infor-

mation).

For further information about proxies or prerendered data see

section “Working in Real Time” on page 2-11.
