Sending Completed Clips
Sending Completed Clips
Once you create a clip or sequence on Aurora Edit for a specific placeholder, you need
to send it to a media server so it can be played to air by Aurora Playout. Your Aurora
Edit workstation should be configured with the media server and its default directory
as the default Send Destination. See your Aurora Edit documentation for more
information.
If you didn’t previously link your sequence to a Aurora Playout placeholder, you can
do it before sending the clip.
To send a completed sequence:
1. Select the completed sequence in the Aurora Edit Bin.
If you have the completed sequence open in Aurora Edit, it is already selected;
click
Save before sending to make sure you send the latest version.
2. Press F2 on the keyboard or click the Send to File button in the toolbar.
The Send To Selected Destinations window appears, displaying the list of open
Aurora Playout placeholders. If you linked the sequence to a Aurora Playout
placeholder, that placeholder is highlighted.
Refresh Mode Selects one of two script refresh modes:
Automatic: Any script change on the NCS side automatically updates the
script in the Story View window. This is the default setting.
Manual: Script changes on the NCS side are not reflected in the Story View
window. You must click Refresh Script to update the window with the most
recent script changes.
The Refresh Script icon flashes yellow for 30 seconds, and then remains
yellow to indicate that an updated script is available. Click Refresh Script to
load the latest script and revert the icon to green.
Refresh Script Refreshes the Story View with any script changes made on the NCS side.
If the script is updated on the NCS while in Manual mode, the Refresh Script
icon flashes yellow for 30 seconds and then remains yellow to indicate that
an updated script is available. Click Refresh Script to load the updated script
and revert the Refresh Script icon to green.
