Playing Clips
During a news broadcast, you play clips either according to the script or when the
director signals you.
To play a clip:
1. If not already cued, cue the clip to the desired channel.
To cue a clip, drag and drop it into a channel window.
2. Click the Play button in the channel window.
The Play button is a toggle and changes to Stop when clicked; to stop a clip during
play, click the Stop icon to pause it. Click Play to resume playing the clip.
You can also play the next clip in the playlist by clicking Play Next in the Aurora
Playout toolbar.
In addition, you can control clips in the playlist by using GPI inputs, X-keys and the
keyboard function keys. See
“Configuring GPI Input” on page 46 , “Configuring the
X-Keys Controller” on page 50 , and “Defining Function Keys” on page 49 for details.
Archiving Clips
The Archive Play feature allows you to automatically play all clips in a playlist on a
selected channel and record the output of that channel on a VTR.
