- Clip Name — Enter a name for the placeholder. The name identifies the
placeholder in your Assignment List Manager, the Assignment List
Plug-in on the ENPS system, and the NewsQ Pro playlist.
- Story Type — Select a Story Type from the drop-down menu. Story types
are set in the NewsQ Pro application in SDB Server Options. Default story
types are SOT (Sound on Tape) or VO (Voice Over). You can also leave
this field blank.
- Category — Select a category from the drop-down menu. The category
determines who receives the placeholder as an assignment. Selecting ALL
makes the placeholder accessible to all editors who select ALL in their
Assignment List Manager.
- Editorial Duration — If desired, enter an estimated duration for the story
or select one from the drop-down list. Once the clip is created the duration
is automatically adjusted to the clip length. The editor can also enter an
editorial duration that is less than the clip length, which is sent back to the
NCS for show timing.
- Description — Enter a description for the placeholder to help identify the
clip you need to create.
- Protected — Check this box to prevent the clip from being deleted from
the database.

being edited. This field allows editors to easily see that a clip is already
being worked on in another edit room.
