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.
