Re-Running Part of a Job
The three silver buttons shown in the graphic above are used for re-running or re-starting a job at some intermediate
stage and letting it run through to completion. As was mentioned in Starting a Job, stages of a job can be re-run. The
key word here is "re" which means the job has been run before.
It is crucial to understand that data is added to the job file as the job progresses from stage to stage. For example, after
the capture stage completes, the job contains the number of frames and time captured, as well as potential chapter
points. If using "Smart Chapter Selection", the job file would be further altered after the authoring stage, to contain the
optimal chapter starting points after having performed the pruning algorithm.
The key point is that a job file you just created from scratch and saved is not the same as a job file that is automatically
saved to the default job directory at the completion of a job. The reason is that the job file automatically saved after a
job has additional data which is crucial to being able to re-run intermediate stages of the job. In other words, there is
data in the job file which cannot be manually edited in the job property page dialog.
This functionality of starting a job at some intermediate stage can also be used to finish a job that may have been
stopped or failed for some reason. In this case, it is useful to understand the pre-requisites for starting a stage at any
given point. The following table lists the pre-requisites for each intermediate starting point.
