Grass Valley Aurora Edit v.7.0 - Manual (Page 224)

can be copied directly to the Graphics track on the Timeline. Graphics that get copied
to the Timeline will inherit the default graphic duration, which is configured in Aurora
Edit's
Tools | Options | Graphics tab in the main menu bar.
Once a graphic is on the Timeline Graphics track, it can be trimmed or extended. This
will not change the path the animation will take. It will extend or trim the middle of
the graphic.
Orad graphics placed on the Timeline Graphics track can be played directly to playout
or previewed and edited by double-clicking on the graphic in the Timeline.
Double-clicking on the graphic allows the editor to make changes and run the graphic
to preview it.
NOTE: As an additional precaution, editors will not be able to trim the graphic
beyond its minimum duration, which is determined by the keyframes within the
animation.
Refer to the Orad documentation included with your Orad system for complete details
for using the Orad plug-in and other Orad features.

Configuring Orad in Aurora Edit
Before using the Orad graphics system, a number of settings must be configured for
proper operation. These configuration settings are normally made during installation.
You can check these settings from your Aurora Edit or Aurora Edit LD application
to make sure they have been set properly.
During installation, the following items must be configured for proper Orad integration
and operation:
• Each client must have the correct Orad plug-in installed on their system in order
to propertly access and present graphics within Aurora Edit and Aurora Edit LD.
NOTE: Refer to the Aurora Edit and Aurora Edit LD Release Notes for the
correct plug-in version to use with this release.
• A single AURORA-GFX site license must reside in the location of the configured
License Server dialog box within the
Tools | Options | General tab in the top menu
bar of the Aurora Edit application.
• When the Aurora Edit application launches, it checks the license server location
for the presence of the AURORA-GFX license.
NOTE: In the unlikely event that multiple editors launch at the exact same time
and try to access the license, one of the clients will be denied access.
• In the Tools | Options | Graphics tab, the Orad selection must be active in the
pulldown and the Enable MOS workflow checkbox must be checked. This allows
Aurora Edit to link to the script and copy graphics to the Timeline.
