Grass Valley Aurora Edit LD v.7.0 - Manual (Page 74)

Using clips stored in the Bin
If you have clips in the Bin before starting a sequence, you can bring them onto the
Timeline and use them in a new sequence.
You can be in any of the Aurora Edit tools to load clips from the Bin onto the Timeline.
1. Navigate through the Bin until you find the clip you want.
2. Double-click the clip to load it into the Timeline.
The clip loads into the clip source of the Timeline.
Using a clip source
You can load any clip from your Bin into the Source Tool, which effectively treats
the clip like a live source such as a tape deck.
1. Drag the clip into the viewer or press Shift + C to load the clip.
2. Edit the footage to the Timeline as you would a tape deck.
Importing graphic files
You can import 24- or 32-bit graphic files in Aurora Edit and Aurora Edit LD, which
you can use in the graphics track of your sequence.
You can also superimpose a bitmap (with an alpha key) over the video in your clip.
Imported graphics appear in your Bin.
1. Choose File | Import | Graphic .
The Import Graphics window appears.
2. Navigate to the graphic you want to import and select it.
3. Resize the image, if necessary, by checking the Size to Fit or Center boxes.
It is recommended that the Auto Detect Sequential Files checkbox be left
unchecked unless you are working with sequential TGA files. Leaving the
checkbox checked prevents the importation of more than one graphic at a time.
4. Click Open .
A progress bar indicates the import status.
The imported graphic appears in the Bin; you can bring it onto the Timeline on the
Graphics (G) track.
You can also import a graphic directly to the Timeline by choosing File | Import |
Graphic while the Timeline window is currently selected.
