If not already selected, click the checkbox for your media server’s location.
NOTE: Toggling the Missing Clips Only button to off displays previously sent
placeholders with media. You can also link a sequence to one of these placeholders,
which overwrites the media with the new content.
3. If you haven’t linked the sequence to a placeholder, select one to assign to your
completed sequence.
4. Enter an Editorial Duration for the sequence, if desired.
NOTE: Editorial Duration only affects the Duration Column in the ENPS newsroom
computer system.
When sending a linked story to a Aurora Playout destination, you have the
opportunity to change the Editorial Duration. To enter a duration, type it into the
green timecode Editorial Duration field at the bottom of the window, not by
changing the Editorial Duration property of the placeholder.
The duration is sent back to the Newsroom Computer System as the actual on-air
duration of the sequence for more accurate rundown timing.
5. Click Send .
The clip is sent to the media server. Once the clip is sent, the placeholder no longer
appears in your Assignment List and the number of missing items at the top of the
screen decreases by one.
Additional Assignment List Features
In addition to creating clips for assigned placeholders and sending them to the server
for playback, there are other features of the Assignment List that you can use.
