3. Create an archive session in Focus.

   • Find the media that you exported in Step 1.
     
   • If the project has multiple assets, choose both of them on import.
     
   • If you are not sure what order the assets belong, you can navigate to the Settings tab in Vision > Video tab > Choose the Event in question, and the right hand pane will give you the media names and order.
