Open or Create a Project

Open a Project

Directly from the Project Bin, users are able to open existing projects by clicking, Project Settings (1) and the "Open Project" (2) button. This will prompt the Open Project window, allowing users to search for projects based on their title. Selecting a project will allow the "Open" button to be selected.

Please note whenever a project is opened a lock occurs that prevents other users from opening the same project.

Any of those interaction will open the “open project dialogue“ allowing the user to find a project from the central VidiCore repository. It is structured in 3 different areas

• Recently Opened: Shows the last used projects of the logged in user to allow quick access to it.

• My Projects: Lists all projects the logged in user has created and therefor being owner of.

• Shared Projects: Lists projects that have been shared with the logged in user but where the user is not the owner of the project.

Following figure gives an overview:

The grids of the dialogue are configurable in ConfigPortal so the metadata displayed depends on the configuration of the system. On top of this the user can blend out columns of the grid as well as changing the ordering of the columns using the grids user preferences menu as shown also in above figure on right hand side.

Auto Save

Please note that projects are automatically saved after any action. This is indicated by the following icon displaying a checkmark.

Create a New Project

From the Project Bin, users are able to create new projects stored in the media repository by clicking on the "New Project" (1) option.
By entering the intended title for the new project, users are then able to click on the "Create & Open" button to start working on their new editing project. This new project will become managed and stored in the media repository with its own unique ID.

Please note that only one project can be open at a time. Opening an existing project or creating a new one will close the current project.
