Gather Rendered Media
The Gather Rendered Media command can only be used when you’ve rendered image
sequence media for a project that was imported via EDL. This command used to
organize your rendered image sequence media in preparation for delivery to the film
printer.
It organizes your rendered image sequences in two ways:
 It places every frame of media for your project within a single directory.
 It renames every frame of media for your project to create a single, continuous range
of frames from the first to the last image of the rendered project.
Important: You cannot gather media in an XML round trip.
To gather rendered media:
1 Chose File > Gather Rendered Media.
2 Choose one of three options for gathering the rendered media for your project:
 Copy Files: Makes duplicates of the image sequence files, but leaves the originally
rendered files in the render directory.
 Move Files: Copies the image sequence files, and then deletes the originally rendered
files from the render directory.
 Link Files: Creates aliases of the originally rendered files in the render directory. This is
useful if you want to process the frames using an application on your computer, and
you don’t want to duplicate the media unnecessarily. This is not useful if you’re
intending to transport the media to another facility, since the alias files only point to
the original media in the render directory, and contain no actual image data.
3 Click Create New Directory if you want to place the gathered media inside of a new
directory.
4 Click Gather.
Every rendered frame of every shot in your project is renamed, renumbered, and
placed in the directory you specified, ready for further processing or delivery.
