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 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 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.
Bin Effects holds saved video effects.
It is also important that, within each day of the week,
you create another bin with the title of the specific
project or newscast you are working on. This helps
to keep the bins organized, especially if you have
more than one editor working on the same NewsEdit
system.
