Importing and Exporting Color Corrector Setups
The Color Corrector setups you create in combustion are compatible with the Color Corrector setups in the following Discreet systems: effect option 3, flint, flame, inferno, smoke, and fire.
After you color correct a clip, you can export a Color Corrector setup for the footage and import the setup into the other software. You can also import the setup into another combustion workspace (for example, to color correct the same footage in another workspace).
Exported setups are saved as ASCII files with a .correct file extension. To use a Color Corrector setup on a Discreet SGI-based system, transfer the setup file over the network (using an FTP utility, for example), and copy it to the appropriate directory. In the UNIX hierarchy, the Color Corrector setup files are usually saved in the directory named "correct" in the project folder.
Note: In the UNIX operating system, you must have the correct permissions to be able to move, copy, or otherwise alter a file. You may need to change read, write, and execute privileges, or to change ownership on the setup before transferring it.
You can import Color Corrector setups from other combustion workspaces, or from other Discreet systems.
To export a Color Corrector setup:
- Color correct the clip as described in this chapter.
- In the Setup controls, click Export.
The Export Color Correction Setup dialog appears.
- Specify a location and name for the Color Corrector setup file, and click Save.
Warning: The UNIX operating system does not support spaces in filenames, and may refuse to recognize characters such as the asterisk (*), which is a meta-character in UNIX. For that reason, use only alpha-numeric (letters, numbers, and underscoring instead of spacing) characters in files destined for a UNIX system.
