Linking Clips to NewsQ Pro Placeholders
If you are using NewsQ Pro for playout, you can link clips you record with
IngestStation to placeholders in NewsQ Pro. You can link clips for both the
VTR Mode and Feed Mode using NewsQ Pro’s Assignment List Manager. In
VTR Mode, you can link a placeholder to any of the individual clips in the batch
list. In Feed Mode, you link the placeholder to the entire feed, and for playout,
you’ll need to jog/shuttle using NewsQ Pro to cue the piece accurately to the
start point.
