Receiving Editing Assignments
Receiving Editing Assignments
Assignments automatically appear in your Assignment List when they are sent from
the producer or assigned from another editor.
Producers create the assignments as clip placeholders for use in an upcoming news
broadcast. You create clips in Aurora Edit and link them to the placeholders in the
Assignment List.
Linking Sequences to Aurora Playout Placeholders
Aurora Edit can link to scripts on iNEWS, Octopus, and AP/ENPS Newsroom
computer systems, which you can use as an aid for creating your sequence.
You can link to a news or sports story when you create a new sequence, as described
below, by opening Sequence Properties and clicking the Link to Story icon.
