Managing Clips
Housekeeper lets you remove unwanted clips from the database to reduce the database
size. You can also import clips from a media server to access a wider variety of video
footage and move files to archive directories.
This chapter discusses how to:
• Delete clips from your clip database
• Import clips from a media server
• Move clips for archiving
Tour of Housekeeper
Housekeeper typically runs on the same computer as the Aurora Playout application,
but can be installed separately on another system as well. Housekeeper consists of
tabs that let you remove clips from the database, import clips, and archive clips.
The Housekeeping Tab
Use the Housekeeping tab to remove clips from the clip database. Deleting clips
removes them from both the Aurora Playout database and the media server.
