   This opens the project and displays its Workspaces and shared libraries.

4. Navigate the project to find what you want to transfer.

Proxies are only transferred if both projects have identical proxy settings. The proxy settings for your project are displayed in the Projects settings window, Flame menu Project Settings Edit project.

Troubleshooting

Read Only (In use by...)

Appears in one of two cases:

• When the workspace of the project you are browsing is opened and used by the user listed in the Read Only message.
• When someone else is browsing that workspace with the button Exclusive Write Access enabled.

You can still copy items from a Read Only workspace. If you absolutely need to write to the workspace, you will need to locate the user and ask him to switch to another project.

Owned by...

The workspace you are trying to write to is owned by another Flame, Flame Assist, or Flare. Enable Administrator mode to write to the workspace.

Unmanaged media contained in selection. Cache media on Wire?

When transferring media from a remote project, you can get the following message: "Unmanaged media contained in selection. Cache media on Wire?"

This means that the clip you are importing from the remote project has no media cached. Answer Yes to cache the media during the transfer of the clip. Answer No to only keep a reference to the media.

In fact, answering Yes is identical to importing media with the Cache Source Media enabled, and answering No is identical to importing media without Cache Source Media.

No route to host

The workstation you are trying to connect to is not available because it is shutdown, or no longer connected to the network.
