Configuring Aurora Edit
Aurora Edit has many customization options. While your system was pre-configured at
the factory, you may want to adjust some options based on how you use Aurora Edit.
Adding Video Sources to Aurora Edit
Before using footage from a particular source, you must add the source to the Aurora
Edit source list. Aurora Edit pre-installs two sources for you — video and clip:
• The video source, usually a tape deck, allows you to record footage directly into the
Timeline or Bin.
• The clip source allows you to edit a clip as a Timeline source directly in the Bin,
which is useful for large clips so you don’t have to go back and forth from a tape deck.
You only need one clip source; you don’t have to create a new clip source for each
clip you want to use.
To add other sources to Aurora Edit:
1. Choose
View | Sources
.
The Sources window appears, listing the currently configured sources.
2. Click
Add
