2. Deselect the Transfer SmartBins and Media Import SmartBins, unless you
are also using those. Ensure the Shared SmartBins box is check-marked.

Step 3: Create Shared SmartBins in Aurora Edit
Once you’ve installed the SmartBins Service, you can create SmartBins that get
automatically monitored and updated. A SmartBin monitors the server folder
you specify and updates the content of the SmartBin automatically when new
clips or updated feeds appear. You don’t need to go into the server bin and copy
the media into your Aurora Edit bin in order to use it for editing.
To create a SmartBin:
1. Open Aurora Edit on any client workstation.
2. Click the New Bin button on the Bin toolbar.
3. Select the SmartBin Type from the drop-down list:
4. Click Browse to the right of the Server Path field.
5. The Select Server Bin window appears:
6. Select the bin to map with and click OK.
7. Click OK to create the SmartBin.
Once the mapping association is made, the SmartBin Service automatically
keeps the bins synchronized.
Transfer SmartBin Sets up automatic clip transferring from a Media Server to an
Aurora Edit Bin.
Shared SmartBin Sets up folder mapping between a Media Server and a bin in
Aurora Edit.
Media Import SmartBin Sets up automatic QuickTime DV25 .mov and DV50 .mov file
imports into an Aurora Edit Bin.
