Import Project (XML or ALE)
All available data from the ALE file or XML file will be transferred to the current Avid Liquid Project,
including the file paths of corresponding media files.
Select menu bar > File > Import > etc.
XML import does not copy any media files. To work with existing media files, the importing system
needs to be set to recognize the location of these files.
Go to Media Management Settings and add the drive or folder path where the relevant files are stored to
the list of Media Volumes (Edit > Control Panel > Site). If the Media Volume is already on the list, the sys-
tem automatically establishes the links between clips and media files. All clips can be played instantly.
Depending on what exactly you are currently importing, there may be additional options. If these
options can not be selected, they are not available in the current operation.
Media File Action
(Not with XML import.) Here you can select how the Media Files of the ALE Project should be handled.
This function copies the Media Files referenced by the imported clips to the primary destination drive in
the local system as defined in the Media Management Settings (page 332).
As a variant, however, you can also limit yourself to creating shortcuts (links) to the Media File storage
location.
Further options
Treat audio as mono -
interprets audio files on import as being the mono type (even if they‘re not)
Size Media File(s) to Mark-In/Mark-Out -
Only the range of associated Media Files defined by the clip is copied/moved to the destination
drive.
Also, a Handle Length to be added to mark-in and mark-out may be specified.
Import clips into active Rack of main Project window -
(not in the currently active Rack of Project Browser).
