How to archive or gather files being used in a sequence

[Anonymous]

Hey guys, I'm attempting to gather all clips/segments being used in an edit to be sent elswhere to be cut.  Is there an easy way to do this? 

I'm thinking in the sense of having all files being edited in the cut to be included in some kind of archive folder, where you could potentially go in and find all the original sources and recut differently.

Hi,

You can certainly archive a sequence and its contents but Smoke does not have a gather function like you describe.

When you archive the sequence, Smoke will convert all your media into ProRes intermediates and pull all of that in an archive. This archive can be opened in another identical Smoke system. The files are only visible to Smoke in its media folder.

The other archiving method is file linking but that's no use to you as Smoke does not move/copy the media.

Grant... does 2013.2.53 Archive with ProRes Intermediates? I thought it was all uncompressed to make it accesible for Linux Smoke as well.

Arg!!!  ... Too busy doing too many things at once.... Sorry....

If you are working in a project using ProRes intermediates and perform an archive, all archiving will be stored as uncompressed RGB data.....   Smoke does not support archiving of ProRes intermediates....

Thanks for catching that.
