Duplicating Media
To duplicate media means that you copy a clip or master and the underlying
media files that the clip or master reference. A normal copy operation between
locations on the same Profile machine does not copy the associated media files,
only references to those media files.
NOTE: You can play clips or masters with VdrPanel or Tool Box Editor
while Media Manager is duplicating the clip or master. This is only
practical for longer media.
To duplicate a clip or master:
1. In the contents pane, select the clip or master you want to duplicate.
2. Choose Duplicate from the Edit menu or from the shortcut menu with a
right-click. The Duplicate operation always automatically renames the new
clip.
Creating, Renaming and Deleting Bins
A bin can have a name up to 32 characters long. Spaces are legal characters, but
count for two characters. Colons (:) and slashes (/) are illegal. Tildes (~) are
illegal as a first character in a bin name.
To create a new bin:
1. In the tree pane, select the machine or volume where you want to create the
new bin. When a volume icon is selected, the new bin is added to that
volume. When a machine icon is selected, a new bin is created in the first
volume in that machine.
2. Choose New Bin from either the File menu or from the shortcut menu with
a right-click.
3. A new bin called NewBin is placed in the tree. The bin name is highlighted
so you can change it. Accept the new bin name by pressing Enter .
NOTE: Renaming a bin involves modifying the path of every clip or master
in the bin to reflect the new name. If a clip or master cannot be renamed
because it is locked or in use, you end up with two bins: one with the old
name and one with the new one. The clip that could not be modified
remains in the bin with the old name.
