Example Workflows
In MediaCentral Cloud UX, adding time-based metadata refers to the process of adding information to clips, subclips, and sequences. This information includes markers, restrictions, and text, which you can use for reference during story creation and media editing.
Following are typical workflows for adding time-based metadata.
• Editing a video feed: A user edits content at the same time that the media is being ingested.The user can add markers to specify particular video or audio frames and add comments to the markers as required. A journalist can then open a specific clip or clips in MediaCentral Cloud UX, view the markers and comments, and copy text if necessary, even while the recording is in progress.
Working with content while it is being ingested is sometimes referred to as “edit while capture.” For more information, see
Viewing and Editing a Clip During Ingest.
• Editing recorded video: A user browses for recorded clips and edits the content by adding markers and comments. For example, marker comments can include a transcription of an interview. A journalist can then use the transcription as a starting point for a story.
• Creating a shot list: A user can place markers on clips to identify specific shots, mark in and out points to create a series of subclips, and combine these subclips into a shot list. For example, a journalist might create a shot list with markers and subclips for a sequence, and another media editor can then match the shot list to a story text or use it to create a voice-over track.
• Adding markers to a sequence: You can add markers to a sequence you are creating, either by adding clips with markers to a sequence or by adding markers directly to a sequence.
Two or more users can add markers to the same clip or sequence, Each user can reload the Storyboard tab to display all saved markers, including those created by other users.
There is no locking mechanism if two users are editing the same marker text. In this case, either one can save the marker, and the clip in the Production Management database updates with the last saved version. To display the latest saved version, click the Reload button.
