Editing using offline proxy media

Aurora Edit and Aurora Edit LD can preview and edit with proxy media that is
associated with offline archived hi-resolution video.

This feature allows editors to use archived offline assets within a Timeline as if they
were present in the online news database. The offline assets become available in the
bin by doing a MediaFrame search. Finding offline assets can be accomplished by
setting up filters in the Aurora search tool or by searching for a known archived asset.
Once the search is done, the asset search results are placed in the Aurora Edit or Aurora
Edit LD bin and become available as editable material on the Timeline.

The offline assets found in the database search will be indicated by an orange dot in
the search result bin view. An offline clip can be then be loaded into the clip player,
and saved to the Timeline. Any number of archived clips can be used and can also be
mixed with online clips on the Timeline. The video can be edited in the same manner
as online video using the Timeline tools.

Once a strory is complete, the editor can restore the sequence (they must have restore

rights) with the

Restore Sequence Assets

button, synchronize the video (replace

the lo-res video with hi-res) with the

Synchronized Restored Assets

button, and

the sequence is ready to playout.

Once the story has been sent to playout, the editor has the option to unlink the online

assets with the

Unlink Online Assets

button and return the restored offline clips on

the Timeline to proxy references.This allows them to delete the hi-res video restored
media and preserve the Timeline for preview or future restores.

NOTE: Both the Restore and Unlink functions are undoable items. In other words,

you can use the Timeline

Undo

button to undo the restore or unlink action and

also use the

Redo

button to redo the actions.
