BACKGROUND EXPORT OF "COLLECT AND COPY"
SO, why is it that I can Make Media in the background (via a headless version opening up into Media Encoder), but I can't Collect and Copy a project the same way?
Situation is I'm in the middle of a massive job, and have to stop all my program editing in order to make a new project (with media) of the sizzle reel I cut. It draws from the entirety of the project, and so is a pretty large chunk of files (468 GB).
And I'm dead in the water until it's done.

Thank you for that information. I am trying to understand your problem that's all. And yes it does make a difference to me

No, 468 gig is the Collected project size.
And what diff does it make? If you can make media in the background, you can collect and copy in the background.

How much time is the Collect & Copy taking for this project ? Are your footages 468 GB in total ? (or is it a part of your footage that have this size ?)
