The following workflow provides one example of working in a remote connection collaborative environment. In the example, Flare remote connects to a Flame Premium system and loads the media it will work on directly from a Flame Premium project. Flame Premium has direct access to the Flare media at all times since Flare uses the Flame Premium storage volume.
Though you have granular control over the media you choose to share between workstations (clips, reels, Batch iterations, saved Desktops), the workflow detailed here assumes you are sharing saved Desktops.
Flare with Flame Premium workflow:
- Start the application and connect to a remote host computer. See Starting Flare
- Restore the saved Desktop from the Flame project's shared folder by right-clicking the saved Desktop and selecting Replace Desktop from the contextual menu or by dragging it to the Flare Workspace entry in the Media Panel. You are prompted to either Replace or Cancel.
Note: Make sure the Desktop was saved to a shared folder in Flame Premium to make them accessible to Flare.
For more information, Shared Libraries.
- Work with the Batch toolset. See Using Batch and Batch FX.
- Save your Desktop to a Flare Library. See Saving and Restoring the Desktop.
- Copy the saved Desktop back into the shared folder, making it available to the Flame workstation.
Tip: It is recommended to create a sub-folder within the Flame shared folder named From_Flare, for example, to be able to easily distinguish the initial media from the result media. In order to create a sub-folder, make sure to acquire exclusive access (lock).
