- Clip Name — Enter a placeholder name. The name identifies the
placeholder in both the Assignment List Plug-in (in the NCS) and the
Assignment List Manager (in the NewsEdit system).
- Story Type — Select a Story Type from the drop-down menu, either SOT
(Sound On Tape) or VO (Voice Over). You can also leave this field blank.
Selecting SOT will cause the clip duration to be sent to the NCS for show
timing calculations. Selecting VO will send 0 (zero) to the NCS.
- Duration — Enter a duration for the placeholder or select one from the
drop-down list. Once the clip is created the duration is automatically
adjusted to the clip length.
- Category — Select a category from the drop-down menu. The category
determines which editors receive the placeholder as an assignment.
- Description — Enter a description for the placeholder. The description
helps news editors identify the clip they need to create.
- Protected — Check this box to prevent the clip from being erased or
deleted from the database.
3. Click OK .
NOTE: The Clip ID and the Date are set automatically when you
create a new placeholder.
You can import a clip and assign it to the new placeholder or associate it with
a clip that was previously imported.
