Creating, editing and previewing pages and/or scenes
Approving or rejecting new pages and scenes created from a
Merge List
When new pages are generated by the Merge List, they exist only in the playlist as
embedded pages, which means that the pages are not yet assets and that they only belong
to that particular playlist. Therefore unless you save the playlist, you delete the new
embedded pages. To conserve the pages for future use in other playlists, you can save
them as shared page assets by using Xbuilder’s Approve feature.
Unlike pages, when new scenes are generated by the Merge List, they immediately become
assets and are placed in the specified temporary scenes category. The scene assets
remain in the temporary category until they are approved. Upon approval the scene assets
are moved to the specified render path location.
To approve or reject new pages and scenes:
1.
Verify that the default category settings in Xbuilder’s Merge List settings
(T
OOLS
>S
ETTINGS
>M
ERGE
L
IST
) are properly configured (
2.
If not already done, open the Merge List in Xbuilder (
page 3-13
). The new pages and/or
scenes will be generated and displayed in a playlist in Xbuilder’s Playlist Editor.
3.
There are two (2) methods for approving new pages and/or scenes:
• Approved All - To quickly approve all of the items (pages & scenes) in the
playlist, click the A
PPROVE
ALL
ITEMS
IN
M
ERGELIST
button
in the Playlist
Editor’s toolbar. Xbuilder runs through each item in the playlist, moves the
assets to the appropriate categories, and changes the item’s status in the
playlist to A
PPROVED
.
• Approve individual - To approve new pages and/or scenes individually,
select the item in the playlist. The selected page/scene opens in Xbuilder’s
Template Editor. Click the A
PPROVE
AND
N
EXT
button
in the Template
Editor’s toolbar to approve. Xbuilder then creates the shared page asset,
moves the asset to the appropriate category, and changes the item’s status in
the playlist to A
PPROVED
.
4.
To reject the page/scene, click the R
EJECT
AND
N
EXT
button
in the Template
Editor’s toolbar. When rejected, scene assets remain in the temporary category, while
pages remain as embedded pages in the playlist. In both cases, Xbuilder changes the
item in the playlist to red and its status to R
EJECTED
.
