Creating a Media Import SmartBin

Media Import SmartBins allow you to automatically import QuickTime DV25
and DV50 .mov files into NewsEdit. This allows you to use Apple’s Final Cut
Pro video editing application, within a NAS environment, to create news
footage and then import it into NewsEdit.

Once set up, whenever you export a file into the source folder, it is
automatically imported into the NewsEdit Bin. You can then use it in a
sequence.

To create a Media Import SmartBin:

1. Click

Browse

to the right of the Server Path field.

The Browse For Folder window appears:

2. Select the folder to monitor and click

OK

.

The Server Path fills in with the folder location.

3. Click

OK

to create the SmartBin.

NewsEdit now monitors the Media Import folder and imports new media to this
bin automatically.
