Library in Harmony Network
The library is a storage centre for all of the production assets; the elements stored in the library are called templates. Although it is mainly used for cut-out animation, the library also serves paperless and traditional animation processes. The library can contain any asset used in a Toon Boom Harmony production.
When working on the database, the structure of the library differs from when working on Harmony Stage as a stand-alone application.
Harmony provides different library folders. There are three default library folders available:
• | Symbols
The only library folder containing symbols for your project. You can organize the symbols library folder using subfolders, but you cannot create a second library for your symbols. This library is local to your project. |
• | Environment
A folder located inside the Environment folder. Every asset stored in this folder is accessible from any job and scene contained within this environment. |
• | Job
A folder located inside the Job folder. Every asset stored in this folder is accessible from any scene contained within this job. |
You can create a folder called "library" in the
usa_db
folder on the server to create a Global library. Once the Harmonyapplication is restarted, a "Global" library folder will automatically appear in every user's library. Every asset stored in this folder is accessible from any scene, job and environment.
