Adding Video Sources to NewsEdit LT

Before using footage from a particular source, you need to add the source to the
NewsEdit LT source list. NewsEdit LT pre-installs two sources for you—a
video source and a clip source:

• The video source, usually a tape deck, allows you to record footage directly

into the Timeline or the Bin.

• The clip source allows you to edit a clip as a Timeline source directly in the

Bin, which is useful for large clips so you don’t have to go back and forth
from a tape deck. You only need one clip source; you don’t have to create a
new clip source for each clip you want to use.
