Uploading Media Using the Remote Upload Service

their upload status. For example, if you use a clip called ClipA in a sequence stored in Bin1,
enable Remote Sync, and then save Bin1, ClipA is uploaded to the subfolder Bin1/Upload with
the clip name ClipA,upload, n, where n is incremented each time Bin1 is saved and ClipA is
uploaded during the Remote Sync operation. This prevents your bin folder in Interplay from
filling up with multiple versions of your uploaded clip.
When you remotely upload a sequence, the following occurs:
• The clips in your sequence are uploaded and checked in to Interplay. The operation only
uploads the frames from the segments used in the sequence.
• If your sequence uses multiple clips, each segment is transcoded separately. The upload
service then creates one job for each transcoded clip, which are listed in the Upload Queue
Window.
• The upload service checks to see if the clip being uploaded already exists in the Interplay
database at the requested resolution. If it does, the job is marked as complete and the Upload
Queue Window displays the message, “Clip Already Exists.” When the segment selected for
upload composes part of a larger clip, the upload service checks to see if the clip that is
already checked in to Interplay includes the selected frames in the clip you want to upload. If
so, the service marks the upload as complete. You can click the Details button in the Upload
Queue Window to view information about the completed upload.
• If you enable Start Remote Sync Sequence, you can automatically upload sequence content
when you make a change to the sequence by adding a new clip or modifying the frames
contained in a segment — for example, by trimming a clip. The sync operation starts when
the bin containing the sequence is saved. Remote sync does not upload clips that have not
changed, although they do appear in the Upload Queue Window as completed jobs since
they already exist in the Interplay database. For more information on remote sync, see
“Syncing Sequences” on page 1225.
• When Remote Sync Sequence is first enabled for a sequence, the sequence begins uploading
immediately. Subsequent changes to the sequence are uploaded when the bin containing the
sequence is saved (either manually or automatically).
• Because the uploaded proxy clips still point to the source clips on your local system, you
need to enable dynamic relink from the production facility and relink to the online resolution
in order to view the media from systems other than your local system.
