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.
To configure Archive Play, you must select the archive channel from the
Archive Play configuration tab (“Configuring Archive Play” on page 30). You
can also change the Archive Black duration on that tab; NewsQ Pro rolls five
seconds of black between each archived clip by default.
To play a clip to archive:
1. Click the Archive Play button to enable Archive Play.
2. Cue a clip to the archive channel.
Select the first clip and click the Cue All button on the toolbar.
3. Start recording on the VTR.
4. Click the Play Cued Clip icon in the channel window.
5. After all clips have played, stop the VTR and click Archive Play again to
disable Archive Play.
NewsQ Pro logs “as run” data in a comma-delimited log file
(C:\NewsQPro\logs\AsRunLog.log). Each line includes the Date, Time (start time
to the nearest second), Rundown Name, Clip Name, Clip ID, and Duration.
NewsQ Pro appends new data to the log file each time you enable Archive Play.
To start a new log, delete the AsRunLog.log file before enabling Archive Play.
