For example, the encoding settings for one target may involve longer processing than you want to
allow at the moment. Using a duplicate entry, you can defer processing that entry until a more
convenient opportunity.

•

Click the

Trim

button in the footer to open a trimmer pane (Figure 229) that allows you to set the

and

Out Points

for clips you plan to share (some file formats do not support trimming).

Clips that are added while still being captured can be re-

trimmed to take advantage of file ‘growth’.

Hint: Checkmark the Still Frame switch to select a frame and convert it to a JPEG image file on upload.

THE EXPORT BUTTON

FIGURE 230

Also located in the footer of the

Export Bin

, the

Export button

is a toggle; that is, like the light switch in your

foyer, it has two states

–

on and off.

When lit, the

Export processor

is activated, and is either watching for qualified entries

Bin

entries to appear

for exporting, or actively processing those that are ‘ready to go’. (Conversely, of course, no

light, no go …)

Note: The footer Export button is linked to the larger Dashboard Export button, which does the exact same
thing.

OTHER ‘

ADD TO

’

METHODS

Let’s handle the final details you need to become a social media

maestro. It seems obvious that manually

managing the minutiae of exporting could intrude into the already hectic life of a switcher operator. Live
production already demands a lot of attention.

Using

Add

in the

Export Bin

panel, entering comments, etc., would be quite a distraction. For this reason,

Export makes it as simple as possible to share your media, as follows

Once you have configured your

Export

presets, check-marked one or more in the

Export

menu, and decided

whether to add checks to

Stills

Clips

, or both in the

Auto Queue

menu, you have eliminated a good deal of the

fuss. But we can do better yet

–

in two ways:

•

You can flexibly add both stills and clips to the

Export Bin

with a single click, keystroke or button

press. You can also add items from the playlist of a

Media Player

, or directly from the

Grab

and

Record

features (see the heading File Operations in 11.1.1).

•

Second, you can even automate the matter of adding custom titles and comments.

Grab,

Record

well as the

Media Players

all support individual custom

Names

and

Comments

, which will supply the

corresponding metadata for your

Export Media

additions.
