Menu Command Description
Send to Provides a list of possible destinations to which the
selected timeline can be sent:
• the user’s default bin
• the user’s default playlist
• a default archive target
• any target destination visible on the GigE network that
has been defined in the Remote Installer (CleanEdit
targets, Avid targets, Final Cut Pro targets, File
targets, XT targets). This is used to make A/V material
available to external systems.
Flatten to XT Displays a list of hi-res EVS servers and pages available
on the XNet network to which the user can store a
consolidated clip out of the open timeline.
The flattened clip will have the same VarID as the original
timeline.
Backup to Nearline Provides a list of possible destinations to which the
selected timeline can be sent, that is to say any
destination folder visible on the GigE network that has
been defined in the Remote Installer to allow timeline
transfer. This is used to store or back up A/V material.
Users can access the A/V material of nearline folders in
IPDirector, or restore it on an EVS server.
Export Timeline Allows exporting the definition (EDL) of the loaded
timeline, in other words the timeline structure and
timeline related information, in .xml format. This does not
export the timeline material.
Import Timeline Allows importing the definition of the loaded playlist
(EDL), as long as the clips included in the EDL are
already present on the network.
