Creating an Asset Management Sequence
For MediaCentral Asset Management sequences, you define the target frame rate when you create the shotlist. By default, you can add clips with a differing frame rate.
Starting with version 2020.9, Asset Management sequences and the referenced assets can be temporally “reserved.” A reserved asset or sequence cannot be deleted nor can its essences or locations be deleted. Deletion protection is triggered when you create or update an Asset Management sequence and expires after a configured time span (default: 24 hours). For more information, see
Maintaining Reserved Asset Management Assets and Shotlists.
To create a sequence in the MediaCentral Asset Management database:
1. In the Browse app, select the folder in which you want to create the sequence.
2. Right-click the folder and select Create Shotlist or Create Shotlist (audio-only):
The Sequence Details dialog box opens. If you selected “Create Shotlist” the dialog box includes a Frame Rate menu and a Sample Rate menu. If you selected “Create Shotlist (audio-only)” the Frame Rate menu is not displayed. The following illustrations show both versions of the Sequence Details dialog box.
3. Type a name for the shotlist in the Name field.
If you do not provide a name, a new shotlist is created with the name New.Sequence. If there is already a shotlist named New.Sequence, a .01 extension is appended to the shotlist name, and incremented for each unnamed new shotlist (New.Sequence.02, and so on).
4. (Option) Select the shotlist type from the Type list.
In this release of MediaCentral Cloud UX, EDL is the only available type.
5. To define the frame rate of the video, do one of the following:
Select a predefined target frame rate from the Frame Rate list.
Type a value greater than 0 in the Frame Rate list field to define a customized frame rate.
6. To define the sample rate of the audio, select a predefined sample rate from the Sample Rate list.
7. Click Save.
The new shotlist is shown in the selected folder.
8. Double-click the shotlist to open it in the Sequence Timeline.
