news editors identify the clip they need to create.

Protected

— Check this box to prevent the clip from being erased or deleted

from the database.

Being Edited

— Check this box to indicate when the sequence for a placeholder

is currently being edited.

the clip in the Aurora Playout playlist and in the Assignment List Manager

Manager changes color.

the Settings tab.

you can leave it as the default setting: Not Defined.

Description

the Settings tab.

Search Terms

— Enter the search term for the clip so that it will be easy to find

when you search for it using MediaFrame Search component later.

You can also enter metadata within Keywords tab, which referenced a specific
timecode location in the media file. This is done by selecting mark-in/out points
on the clip and inserting a keyword for that segment.

Within the Custom tab, you can enter additional asset metadata such as editor,
videographer, location and any other fields that had been listed. If you have the
Administrator privileges, you can add, edit, or delete custom metadata fields.
