VENICE Client Software User Guide
2.6.2 Projects
VENICE project files can be used to make a complete snapshot of the
current state of a VENICE client software. In other words they store ev-
erything that is saved via presets (see section “Presets” on page 2-13)
and, furthermore, store content as well.
These files are normally stored locally where the VENICE client software
is running, but can be transferred easily between systems by copying/
moving their files and can then be used immediately.
Projects are administered via the File menu of the menu bar. For further
information about it see section “The ’File’ Menu” on page 6-10.
When connecting to a video channel of the VENICE server, a window
will be displayed showing you the recently used projects. Then you can
select one for loading or start a new one (see section “Selecting a
Project” on page 2-5).
2.6.3 Playlists / Transcoding Lists
With the VENICE client software you can create lists that can be used
for a play-out as well as a transcoding. They can be created and admin-
istered either with the playlist or the transcoding list editor (see section
“Playlist / Transcoding List Editor” on page 6-2). There you can add
any number of video and audio clips in any sequence you like. It is also
possible to link video to audio clips so that they are used together, and
to have VENICE metaclips as clips/items on the list. Via the controls you
can select whether you want to operate on a single item or a complete
list.
These files are normally stored locally where the VENICE client software
is running, but can be transferred easily between systems by copying/
moving their files and can then be used immediately.
