Restoring a Project from a File-based Archive

You can only perform the complete project restoration described below if the project to restore does not already exist on the workstation. You can see a list of all the projects in MediaHub Projects Local Projects.

You can delete projects from File Project and User Settings.

And even if the project exists on your workstation, you can always restore manually selected clips from the project archive.

To restore a project from a file archive:

1. In the MediaHub, enable Browse for Archives.
2. From the Archives list, double-click the archive to open it.
3. Navigate the archive, and select the project to restore. Projects are usually created at the root of an archive file.
4. Click Restore Project.

   Smoke starts restoring the project. The actual duration of the archive process depends on the size of the project. You can cancel the process at any time by clicking anywhere on the screen: you cannot use the application for anything else while Smoke restores your project. Once restored, you can access the project through File Project and User Settings.
