To restore material from an archive:
- In the MediaHub, enable Browse for Archive.
- In the Archives list, double-click the archive that contains the material to restore.
- Drag and drop clips and folders from the archive to the Media panel.
Material you drag and drop appears in the Media panel, flagged (Pending), and is not actually restored until you click Restore.
- Click Restore. If the archive spans multiple segments,
Flame Assist might prompt you to locate the required one.
The length of the restoration process depends on the size of the material being restored. You cannot use the application for anything else while Flame Assist restores the material. Cancel the process at any time by clicking anywhere in the MediaHub.
To see how much space a selected item will take on your storage, as well as the archive segment where it is stored:
- In the archive, select the items to restore.
- Click the MediaHub Gear menu and select Update Selection Information.
- The right of the MediaHub status bar displays the number of frames and the space required to restore the selected items.
It also displays the archive segments that contain the selected items, which are required to restore the selection.
Note: When you restore multi-version clips,
Flame Assist does not automatically resync to the original Open Clips to ensure the material is restored in the state it was archived. If you need updated versions, you need to use the contextual menu's
. This can be done on a single clip, or on containers like reel, folder, Reels groups. Note that segments that were updated are highlighted in white.
