Exporting ShotLists from the iTX Desktop and SmartClient
Another manual operation that can be carried out from the iTX Desktop and the
SmartClient is the ability to export shot lists to a remote network share.
A ShotList is a simple sequence of sections from a number of clips. When a ShotList is
exported manually, all the media assets required for the sequence are transferred from the
DIVArchive to a specified network shared directory. An operator might want to export the
media required to a craft editing system in order for the sequence to be edited and
compiled into a single clip.
Note: To perform ShotList exports there are two workflows that must be
installed. See Configuring the ShotList Export workflow on page 65.
To export shot lists to a remote network share:
1 In the SmartClient, produce a ShotList or load one into the Asset Layout of the iTX
Desktop.
2 Select the Target Project tab.
3 In the Actions tab, then click the Cache ShotList button.
The export is a two stage process:
• All the required media is checked and if any does not have a current iTX location,
Delivery Manager creates jobs to import it into iTX.
If any segments of the ShotList project are from clips that have a DIVArchive location,
an automatic partial restore is issued for the required media.
• When all the media has been verified to have an iTX Location, all the parts of the
ShotList are then copied to the remote network share into an automatically created
folder with the ShotList project's name.
