Backup copies
Movie Studio lets you quickly and easily create backup copies of your entire project (including all video objects, all effects, etc.). We recommend making regular backups, especially when working with very large projects. Doing this will allow you to return to "old" versions of your project if, for example, your hard drive crashes or there's a problem with your project. This function can be found in the "File" menu.
Copying movies or project and media into folder
With this feature, you can put a complete Movie Studio arrangement, including all applied multimedia files, into one folder. This is especially useful when you wish to reuse or archive such a project later on or when the files can be found on multiple CDs so that on loading you continually have to change CDs. Furthermore, the effect files used are saved in one folder with the other files.
If you select the option, "Copy disc project, movies, and media in folder", all movies in the current disc project, including all of the related media, are put together, and then copied into the selected folder.
NOTE The program also supports DV logging. You no longer need (under the circumstances) to save large DV-AVI and audio files, since Movie Studio saves the position of this material on the DV tape and imports missing files automatically when reloading the DV tape.
A dialog opens where you can specify the path and name of the video.
Restore project from video disc
This command restores a project backup that has been saved on a disc.
To do this, in the "Burn"interface, go to "Burn DVD" > "Add files..." and select and add the back up project. > Burn to disc.
You can choose which of the movies contained on the disc should be restored by selecting it in the list. You also need to indicate the folder where the project should be saved. A subfolder "Backupxx" will be created in this folder where all project files from the disc will be saved. All of the restored movies will be loaded into Movie Studio for editing.
If you select the option Restore image files only, only the original image files contained on the disc are restored.
