Chapter 7 Exchange
Shared Projects
Two or more users can simultaneously work on the same Project. Note that in the basic form of a net-
work, there is no central administration to handle such Project sharing.
A problem-free exchange and shared editing of Avid Liquid Projects requires that the Avid Liquid appli-
cations involved have the same version number. In the case of
Avid Liquid Chrome HD and Avid
Liquid
, this means Version 6.1 or later.
When it comes to deleting and changing clips or media data, every user has the same rights. One excep-
tion: the user who first opens a Sequence gains exclusive access to that Sequence as long as it is open.
A good communication between users of a common Project is advisable.
Refresh Project Views
The Refresh Project Views command lets you keep track of changes that another editor is making to the
same Project. This toolbutton is located in the Project window, on the left next to the shortcut menu but-
ton. If the current Project is not being shared, this button is grayed (deactivated).
This function can also be assigned to a keyboard key.
1 Open the Keyboard Settings (Edit > Control Panel > User...).
2 Select Global Shortcuts from the end of the list in the upper left of the dialog box. The Global
Shortcuts box must be checked.
3 Open the toolbox by clicking the wrench symbol, if it is not already open.
4 From the list in the upper right area, select Desktop.
5 Select T-Main menu > T-Project and drag the Refresh Project Views T-toolbutton to a convenient
key.
6 Then confirm with Ok (checkmark) and all is set.
A third option is to open the Tr a sh shortcut menu (Desktop) and select Refresh Project Views.
