Exporting With Gateway Clip Data
Gateway clip files can be created using an Export node with Create Clip Data enabled. This gives you the ability to save a
copy of the active setup with the exported material, allowing you to package exports with the setups that created them, or
to version your exports.
NoteA Gateway clip file is an XML file which describes channels, media, and versions. You can create your own Gateway clip files
to be used inside Batch, without resorting to the Export node; you might want to do this within a context of render passes
interop between
Flame and a 3D application. See
About Gateway Clip Files.
To create a Gateway .clip file:
- Double-click an Export node.
Settings for the Export node appear.
- Set the Export Settings.
- Enable Create Clip Data and set other Clip Data Settings.
NoteThe Gateway clip filename reflects the name of the clip being created.
- Set the destination for the exported files using the Path and Naming.
- Click Process or select a processing option from the dropdown list.
All active jobs are processed to the destinations you set.
