Delete Timeline
and Clips

Deletes the loaded timeline from the IPDirector Database and
from the server, as well as the clips created by the timeline
engine.

Send to

Provides a list of possible destinations to which the selected
timeline can be sent:

the user's default bin

a default archive target

any target destination visible on the GigE network that has
been defined in the Remote Installer (CleanEdit targets, Avid
targets, Final Cut Pro targets, File targets, XT targets). This is
used to make A/V material available to external systems.

Flatten to XT

Displays a list of hi-res EVS servers and pages available on the
XNet network to which the user can store a consolidated clip out
of the open timeline.
The flattened clip will have the same VarID as the original
timeline.

Backup to
Nearline

Provides a list of possible destinations to which the selected
timeline can be sent, that is to say any destination folder visible on
the GigE network that has been defined in the Remote Installer to
allow timeline transfer. This is used to store or back up A/V
material.
Users can access the A/V material of nearline folders in
IPDirector, or restore it on an EVS server.

Export Timeline

Allows exporting the definition (EDL) of the loaded timeline, in
other words the timeline structure and timeline related information,
in .xml format. This does not export the timeline material.

Import Timeline

Allows importing the definition of the loaded playlist (EDL), as long
as the clips included in the EDL are already present on the
network.
