To Collect Show Files
1. With the show you want to archive open, in the Menu Bar, select
Tools > Collect Show Files.
2. Choose whether you want to show content to Copy to Folder on
your hard drive or Burn to DVD/CD.

a. If you select Copy to Folder, click on Browse to locate
the folder you want to use for the collection, or create a
new one.
3. Click on Collect to begin gathering the files into one place.

There’s quite a bit of information in the Collect Show Files window. The
Files Used in Show list displays every file that is in your show, no matter the
file type.

To the right of that list you’ll see the Space Necessary for Collection pane.
This tells you how many files by type are in your show, and how much
storage space you'll need to collect and save everything.

Whether you choose to copy the collection to a folder or burn it to disc,
you’re going to get the same folder structure once the collection process is
complete. The folder you select to will contain the following:

• Your show’s PSH file
• Your show’s POH file
• An ‘image’ folder - All images used in your show
• An ‘audio’ folder - All audio used in your show
• A ‘video’ folder - All video clips used in your show

The PSH file for your show will also be changed to reflect the location of
your files. The great thing is that this location stays intact as long as you
move the whole collection from one place to another. Additionally, the
POH file for your show will maintain the Publish History, helping you keep
track of any videos or discs you’ve published.
