Setting Up Media Files for Sharing
Setting Up Media Files for Sharing
Before you can transfer media files to another Aurora Edit workstation, you need to
set up your workstation for sharing. Your system may already be set up for sharing.
To share files:
1. In Windows Explorer, open the drive where your media files will be stored, usually
drive D.
2. Right click on the VibrintAVFiles folder and choose Sharing .
3. Choose the Shared As option button and leave the default share name
VibrintAVFiles .
4. Click OK .
The folder you shared appears with the standard Windows sharing icon.
Setting Up Your Bins
You can create and organize your bins to suit your work style. For instance, you could
create a bin for each day of the week and within those set up a bin for each individual
story or for each editor.
A typical setup might be:
Aurora Edit automatically monitors your bins and refreshes the display if anyone
places a file in one of your bins. For instance, as a breaking story develops, station
staff can place the latest footage in a given directory. It then appears in your Bin where
you can use it in your sequence.
To refresh your Bin manually, press F5 or select View | Refresh .
Bins 1-Monday through 7-Sunday are used for
everyday stories.
Bin Imports is set up as a single location where
other Aurora Edit workstations can send clips over
the network to you.
Bin Misc. is a folder to hold any clips to be
saved, such as Whiteflash, Black, Color Bars
and Tone, Reporter Outcues, repeated effects, etc.
Bin HFR (Hold For Release) is used when you are
editing a story on one day but airing it on another.
Bin Effects holds saved video effects.
It is also important that, within each day of the week,
you create another bin with the title of the specific
project you are working on. This helps to keep the
bins organized, especially with more than one
editor working on the same Aurora Edit system.
