Setting Up a SmartBin

If you are using NewsEdit in shared mode, you can have clips from a Media
Server appear in one of your bins automatically. This type of Bin is called a
SmartBin. NewsEdit monitors the server folder you specify and updates the
SmartBin automatically when new clips or updated feeds appear. You don’t
need to go into the server directory and copy the media into your NewsEdit bin
in order to use it for playout.

To create a SmartBin:

1. Click the

New Bin

button on the Bin toolbar.

2. Select the SmartBin Type from the drop-down list:

3. Follow the directions below for the type of SmartBin you are creating.

Video Server SmartBin

Allows clips from a Media Server to update automatically in a
NewsEdit Bin.

Media Import SmartBin

Allows QuickTime DV25 .mov and DV50 .mov files to import
automatically into a NewsEdit Bin.
