  • Can you break up metaframes into smaller modules to add to other metaframes?

    I'm sorry if I'm not articulating this well. Basically I have a SLAVE start "blue-screening" and I can seem to get it to work. I was thinking about taking the metaframe file from my one computer and put it on another slave, but I dont want to add the whole thing. Can I pick and choose the most valuable parts of the library's I want? And then, lets say I have 12 instances in the Metaframe I'm trying to use, and I only need 6 of them on the backup slave, how can I add those 6 to the existing metaframe that's on the backup computer? I was told there was a way to pick and choose and combine things like this, but I have only really used it with the large metaframes and never had to deal with moving instances from one frame to the other.

  • Also, I still don't quite understand the difference between saving a project vs. saving a metaframe.

  • "Project" is another term for 'viframe'.

    You want 6 of 12, save project as 'useful name' and load it into an extant 'instance' - the container for the viframe - or create new [empty] instance.
    Additionally you can save a channel or channels as 'channel set'.


  • Do I load them into the existing metaframe by merging project?!?! I've never saved a project before, only metaframe. So...I basically just 1. I delete the unwanted instances first 2. Save Project as 3. Open new metaframe and merge project?! Is that right? THANKS!

  • Merge you do from an open project. You don't need to do either to open a project, it will open and get rid of the extant project (asking you do you want to save).
