Deleting Clips From a Media Server Only

You can delete clips from the Media Server without deleting the placeholder
from the NewsQ Pro database.

Rather than deleting clips, if you want to update a clip after it has been sent to
a Media Server for playback, you can overwrite it by associating the new
sequence with the same placeholder. See “Sending Completed Clips” on page
36
for details.

To remove a clip only from the Media Server while leaving its placeholder
intact:

1. On the Housekeeping tab, right-click on the clip you want to remove.

2. Choose

Delete from media servers

.

The clip is removed from the Media Server and appears as “Missing” in the
Assignment List Manager. In the Housekeeper Placeholder list, the placeholder
remains but the thumbnail is empty with a red box around it.

NOTE: If the media fails to delete, make sure it is not Protected and
is not currently cued to a channel in NewsQ Pro.
