COMPOSITION COLLECT

[digitalgigalow]

I would like to see an option like what is in Ableton Live. It would be nice to see a composition in folder holding all the video clips so we can set up a composition at home and bring it to the club to use on the club system

PLUR!!!

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES !!!!
.....did I already said yes?

I think this has been requested before. From what I gather its difficult to do as with large amounts of data. Still a brilliant idea though

[cosmowe]

Yes..It would be a huge amount of data... but who cares? Its soooo useful!

[damstraversaz]

I'm agree, it could be very useful

[Joris]

who cares?

We do, because we are the ones that will need to build in all sorts of safety measures for when a user clicks on a button by mistake and starts moving their whole C: drive to a USB stick.

We really, really, really, see how useful this is, but believe me when I say that it's not as straightforward as you think.

I agree that this is a sadly missed feature for being able to move sets between different machines and `collect` a whole comp as with after effects etc. This runs with the ability to `reconnect` missing files and Arena`s ability to do this is a massive step on from Res 3. A half way house to collecting a whole comp would be for Arena or Avenue 4 to look for all the missing files in a single folder and reconnect them, that way the composition could be reconnected in one go with the `missing` files transferred to the new machine. This way at least i could take a gig to another machine on a protable hard drive even if it took a little time to reconnect the files. Reconnecting the first files could maybe give an option to seek for all the missing files in the same folder or similar.

I`ve just had to do this for a gig at the Edinburgh Festival, making it on my machine and transferring it to a sister machine for the gig. It seemed very clunky to have to do so much of it all again by hand especially as that`s what computers are good at, multiple repetitions and copying .

Both features would be good, multiple re-connect and Whole Comp saving - and I agree that it doesn`t really matter if it`s 20gb or whatever, but also that there is a concern over inadvertant button clicking. Then again a couple of warnings should stop all but the most digitally determined ....

and once again tributes for a wonderful program ...... john mcgeoch

if its possible then yes this would be an awesome addition.

I also think this would be a great feat. If you could have the option, at least, the ones who needs it would be very happy

[asperi]

I would like this too. Maybe if it could make a text or xml file or something that a backup or ftp software could use?
