Chapter 16 Still Store 317
Important: Still Store images aren’t updated if the shot they originated from is
regraded. This means that if you save a Still Store image from a shot, and then later
regrade that shot to have a different look, the saved Still Store image will no longer be
representative of that shot and should be removed. If there is any question whether or
not a still image correctly reflects a shot’s current grade, the date and time the still
image was saved might provide a hint.
Saving Still Store Images in Subdirectories
By default, whenever you save a still image, it’s saved in your project’s internal StillStore
subdirectory, and appears in the Still Store bin along with all the other stills you saved.
All stills in the Still Store bin appear in the order in which they were created, with the
newest stills appearing last.
You can also organize your saved stills into subdirectories. You might create individual
subdirectories based on the date of work, the scene stills are saved from, or any other
organizational means of your own devising.
To create a custom subdirectory in the Still Store bin:
1 Click the Still Store tab.
2 Click New Folder.
3 When the New Folder dialog appears, enter a name in the “Name of new folder” field,
then click Create.
A new subdirectory appears inside of the StillStore directory within your project
bundle, and becomes the currently open directory to which all new still images are
saved.
Important: You cannot move still images into subdirectories once they’ve been
created. To save new stills in a subdirectory, you need to navigate the Still Store bin to
that directory before saving any new stills.
Removing Images from the Still Store
Saved images can stack up pretty quickly in the Still Store, so you’ll want to make sure
you regularly remove all unnecessary stills.
Why Is My Project Getting So Big?
Because all still images are saved within the StillStore subdirectory inside your project
bundle, you may notice that your project takes longer to back up than it used to if
you save a lot of still images. If you need to reduce the size of the project file, you
should delete as many unused Still Store images as you can.
