RECORDING AND IMPORTING CLIPS
The first time you record a clip, it is important to verify the compression protocol
before recording.
To verify the compression protocol:
1. Open the Clip Editor and click the Settings button.
2. In the dialog box, click the Capture tab.
3. Verify that the compression protocol is set to DV25.
To record a new clip from input video:
1. Connect a live video source to the system’s SDI Video input.
2. In the Clip Editor, click the Record button.
3. In the Create Clip dialog box, type a clip name and select a folder
where the clip will be stored.
4. Specify clip length — up to 10 minutes.
5. Click the Record button to start recording input video.
6. Once the recording is complete, click Play to play back the new clip.
As it plays, verify that it appears properly on the system video
output.
To import a clip to the browser database:
1. Open the Clip Editor, then click the Import button.
2. In the Import Clip dialog box, navigate to the directory that
contains the clip (.avi file) you wish to import.
3. Select the file name, then click the Open button.
USING CLIPS WITH KEY
Using clips with key requires that you have two separate clips, one for the fill,
and one for the key. The fill clips can be imported or recorded as described in an
earlier section. You can use a copy of the same .avi file for both the fill clip and
the key clip, but you must record or import that file twice.
To import a fill clip and its associated key:
1. Import the fill clip as described above.
2. Double-click the fill clip thumbnail to load it as the current clip.
3. Import the key clip as described above, but be sure to choose “Use
as key in currently loaded clip” in the Import Clip dialog box before
you click Open.
