Setting Up Your Bins
You can create and organize your bins to suit your work style. For instance, you
could create a bin for each day of the week and within those set up a bin for each
individual story or for each editor.
A typical setup might be:
Aurora Edit automatically monitors your bins and refreshes the display if
anyone places a file in one of your bins. For instance, as a breaking story
develops, station staff can place the latest footage in a given directory. It then
appears in your Bin where you can use it in your sequence.
To refresh your Bin manually, press F5 or select View | Refresh .
Bins 1-Monday through 7-Sunday are used for
everyday stories.
Bin Imports is set up as a single location where
other Aurora Edit workstations can send clips over
the network to you.
Bin Misc. is a folder to hold any clips to be
saved, such as Whiteflash, Black, Color Bars
and Tone, Reporter Outcues, repeated effects, etc.
Bin HFR (Hold For Release) is used when you are
editing a story on one day but airing it on another.
Bin Effects holds saved video effects.
It is also important that, within each day of the week,
you create another bin with the title of the specific
project you are working on. This helps
to keep the bins organized, especially with
more than one editor working on the same Aurora Edit
system.
