Saving a Workflow

To save a workflow in Podcast Composer, use the Save or Save As command from the
File menu. You can also use the Save button in the Summary stage.

When you save a workflow, Podcast Composer generates a workflow bundle that
contains all information and resources needed to process the workflow. This includes
images, movies, presets, templates, tools, and compositions used by the workflow.

The workflow bundle also includes workflow metadata, password information, and the
XML code that defines the workflow. The bundle also contains your credentials and the
Xgrid job template the defines the tasks to execute and which tasks can be executed
in parallel.

If the workflow has credentials, they are secured using a master password stored in
your keychain.

To save a new workflow:

1

Choose File > Save (Command-S) or press the Save button in the Summary stage.

2

In the Save As dialog, enter the name of the workflow bundle and specify where

to store it.
The name that you enter in this field can be different than the name you specified in
the Information stage.

Click Save.

To save changes to an existing workflow bundle, choose File > Save (Command-S) or
press the Save button in the Summary stage.
To change the name of a workflow bundle, choose File > Save As (Command-Shift-S).

In the Save As dialog, enter the new name of the workflow bundle.

Note: A workflow can be saved even if not complete and not correct.
