I think I am having another problem with harddrive. When finishing, system shuts down. Trying to backup storyboard to a dvd but message comes up " Theres not enough capacity to backup the storyboard to this medium. DVD is new what can I do , what other options do I have as project is complete accept for rendering
Thanks

Greg,

Using the Storyboard Archive function out to DV saves as an AVI type file - this provides you approximately 20:00 of storyboard per 4.7 SD DVD. If your storyboard is longer than 20-minutes I recommend archiving either out to an external HDD or to DV tape (DV Tape Export option available in the Finish menu).

Hope that helps!

Regards,
Chet

will titles be copied even if they weren't rendered? Doing a graduation dvd with over 100 names. If not do you have any reccomendations to transfer?
Thanks

The type of title (the effect itself, like 'Scrolling Vertical Title' will be saved but not the text itself.
If you have titles you wish to restore, you need to render them and then make a Scene of those individual scenes or of an entire section of the video.

The storyboard archive function is less than complete but it is better than having no back-up. On the new Bogart enabled editors the Bogart HDD Backup is much more thorough, backing up the scene bin as well as the SB.

If you are backing this up, not to much to do further work on the individual scenes or components I would recommend doing a back-up in DV rather than DV-Backup mode. This will save your entire SB (including titles, effects settings, etc). as one complete scene (just as if you had exported out to DV tape the regular, old method.
