Clips 219 - Using XPression INcoder to Auto Assign Recall IDs When Ingesting Content

The XPression INcoder workflow now allows for an auto-assignment of a Recall ID during the ingest and transcode process. The INcoder will assign the next available Recall ID, based on the either a user-defined value or by synchronizing with the Clip Store database to serialize, or use the next available Recall ID number available. This is user-definable for each XPression Clips project, so that all clips in the Clip Store database can have a Recall ID, now.

Clips 221 - Using the Same Recall ID in Two Different XPression Clips Projects

Facilities with multiple shows or productions each day often standardize workflows and want to use the same tools and processes on each show, so that operators can work on more than one show. XPression Clips now allows users to assign the same Recall ID in two or more different XPression Clips Projects. This means that Recall ID 1000 can be the “show open” in each XPression Clips Project. This can reduce the confusion of trying to find a way to use number ranges to segregate clips content, also. There are a couple of tricks here, so watch and learn.

Clips 223 - Retaining the XPression Clips Recall ID as The Take ID

XPression Clips assets can have a Recall ID for use in a random access workflow or for basic organization, and now when the asset is dragged into an XPression Sequence playlist, the Recall ID will be assigned as the Take ID, if the number isn’t already used in the sequence. The allows for operators creating playlists in the Sequence to keep track of which assets are in the list, by Recall ID, by looking in the Take ID column.

Clips 227 - Monitoring Stereo, 5.1, or 7.1 Audio While Editing XPression Clips Content

Did you know you can edit XPression Clips content on the User Interface and not use the program output channels in the control room (or do you say gallery?) outputs? We even can support 5.1 and 7.1 audio monitoring, for situations where there are multi-channel audio workflows to utilize when trimming heads or tails from a clip. This is especially useful, when there is multi-channel audio and the output might be based on a sound cue on a channel other than the traditional channels 1 or 2. Watch this tutorial, even if is only in stereo, to find out how to monitor 5.1 or 7.1 audio.

Clips 233 - XPression Clips Preview Function in the User Interface

The XPression Clips Server Channel panel now as a Preview Window. Why? Well, this allows users to stage a Clips asset for the channel, and if the Auto Take function is enabled, when the asset on the server channel output completes, the item in the Preview Window will automatically transition to the server channel output, using the default transition for that channel. When browsing the Clip Store, users who double-click on an item will see it show up in the Preview Channel, rather than taking it straight to the Server Channel or Frame Buffer. Great way to confirm an item, before pushing out to the studio!
