Importing a Workspace

You can import the branches and footage in an existing workspace into the current workspace. This is useful for reusing effects in multiple jobs.

For example, you can create a template composite where one solid layer flies in as another exits, then save the workspace. When you want to use this transition effect again, import the workspace and replace the solid layers with footage.

To import a workspace:

1. Choose File | Import Workspace, or press Ctrl+Shift+I (Windows) or Command+Shift+I (Macintosh).

The Import Workspace dialog appears.

Note: You must have a workspace open to access this menu option. That is, the workspace cannot be empty.

2. Navigate to the directory that contains the workspace you want to open, select the workspace, and then click OK.

All the branches of the selected workspace are added to the bottom of the Workspace panel.

3. If necessary, you can use the copy, paste, or nesting tools to copy operators from the new branches into existing branches. For more information, see Compositing.

You can also link the nodes in the Schematic view. For information, see Using Schematic View.
