Importing Clips
With the Housekeeper utility, you can import clips from Media Servers. You
associate these clips with a NewsQ Pro placeholder for use in your broadcast.
Importing Clips from a Media Server
Importing clips from a Media Server provides a greater selection of video
footage from which to choose. Imported clips are copied into your database and
into the Media Server’s playout bin.
To import a clip:
1. Select a placeholder in the left pane.
2. Select the Server and the Bin you want to import from in the right pane.
3. Click Associate media clip with placeholder .
The Transfer Monitor appears showing transfer progress. The Server clip is
linked to the NewsQ Pro placeholder.
NOTE: Clips imported with this method won’t show a headframe
thumbnail in NewsQ Pro or in Housekeeper; instead, these clips
display “
READY ”.
You can also import clips using one of these methods:
• Drag a clip from the right pane to the NewsQ Pro placeholder list.
• Drag a clip from the right pane to an empty position in the left pane.
To create a new placeholder, highlight a clip in the right pane (with nothing
selected in the left pane) and click
Associate media clip with placeholder .
