The “Shared Projects” dialog lets you join projects shared by other users in the network.
About This Task
This dialog lists all the established users in the network, and any projects they are sharing. For you to be able to join a project, the user sharing it must be online and have given you read and/or write access.
To join a project, proceed as follows:
Procedure
Connect to the network by checking the “Active” option on the Network menu.
Open the “Shared Projects” dialog from the Network menu.
If necessary, click the “Rescan Network” button (the rightmost button on the toolbar).
Nuendo scans the network for any updated information about online users and/or shared projects, and refreshes the Shared Projects dialog accordingly.
The item “Users in Local Network” lists all the established users in a LAN.
The item “Global IP Network” lists all the users with whom you have established WAN connections.
If there are plus signs beside these items, this indicates that a list of users can be displayed.
If a user is sharing projects, this is indicated by a plus sign beside the user name. Click this to display a list of the projects shared by this user.
If there are shared projects you can join, these are indicated by the text “You can join”.
To join a project, select it and click the “Join Project” button (or double-click the project name in the list).
A dialog opens, allowing you to specify the project folder.
Select a project folder.
There may be 2 cases which require special approaches:
If you are connected over a LAN, the owner of the project may have decided to keep the project files in a special, common project folder on a server. If this is the case, you will need to specify this folder as the Project folder.
If the owner of the project keeps the project files in a project folder on a local hard disk, select a local folder on your hard disk. In this case, the project files will be copied to the project folder on your hard disk.
When you have selected a project folder, the project and the files are copied to your hard disk (unless you’re working on a server).
If you have access not to the entire project, but only separate tracks, only the tracks for which you have read or write permission will be loaded.
