Click the Trim button in the footer to open a trimmer pane (Figure 244) that allows you to set the In
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 PUBLISH BUTTON

FIGURE 245

Also located in the footer of the Publish Bin, the Publish button is a toggle; that is, like the light switch in your
foyer, it has two states – on and off. When lit, the Publish processor is activated, and is either watching for
qualified entries Bin entries to appear for publishing, or actively processing those that are ‘ready to go’.
(Conversely, of course, no light, no go …)

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

SECTION 19.4

PUBLISH QUEUE

This raises the question, though: “When is a clip or still really ready to go’?” Consider:

We’ve discussed the Add button (and we will consider additional methods of adding items to the
Publish Bin in Section 19.4.3).

And you know that you can assign Publish presets you have prepared to individual items in the Bin
either manually (Section 19.3.2) or automatically (Section 19.2.1).

Further, you can modify the Title and add a unique Comment to accompany each upload (Section
19.3.1).

And you can trim a clip, or convert it to a still image (Section 19.3.3).

This brings us to the concept of the Publish Queue. The Queue can be thought of as the complete list, at any

given moment, the subset of all items in the Bin that are fully configured – and, thus, ready to publish.

For our purposes, there are really only two criteria to meet for an item be in the Queue:

There must be at least one check-marked entry in its Preset column menu.

The Queue switch (at right, beside the Preset column) for the item must be checked.

This last item calls for a little further explanation.
