Setting Up Your Bins
There are several ways to organize your bins, and the organization you choose
depends mostly on your job function as well as your organizational style.
A typical setup for a newsroom might be:
NewsEdit LT automatically monitors your bins and refreshes the display if
anyone places a file in one of your bins. For instance, as a breaking story
develops, station staff can place the latest footage in a given directory. It then
appears in your Bin where you can use it in your sequence.
To refresh your Bin manually, press
F5
or select
View | Refresh
.
Bins
1-Monday through 7-Sunday
are used for
everyday stories.
Bin
Imports
is set up as a single location where
other NewsEdit LT workstations can send clips over
the network to you.
Bin
Misc.
is a folder to hold any clips to
be saved, such as Whiteflash, Black, Color Bars
and Tone, Reporter Outcues, repeated effects, etc.
Bin
HFR
(Hold For Release) is used when you are
editing a story on one day but airing it on another.
It is also important that, within each day of the week,
you create another bin with the title of the specific
project you are working on. This helps to keep the
Bins organized, especially if you have more than one
editor working on the same NewsEdit LT system.
Bin
Effects
holds saved video effects.
