Saving projects and videos

When working with many Dartfish modules you will have the choice of saving a "project" or saving the video file resulting from the project.


Saving a project

When you save a project you are saving all the information that relates to the creation of that project; the video files used, the settings chosen etc. Generally you will save projects if you wish to make changes to the project to get a better result or because you wish to base a new project on the settings used previously.

It is important to note that projects do not actually include the video files used by the project. For example, saving a project using two 5Mb video clips will not end up in a project file somewhere over 10Mb. It also means that if sharing projects with other Dartfish users, you will also need to give them the video files used by that project.


Saving a video clip

When you save a video clip you are creating a new video file that can be used by other Dartfish modules or shared with others - even those who do not have the Dartfish software will be able to play back video clips on their own computers.
