Performing an Edit While Capture (EWC) with Drag

and Drop

If you are in a Team configuration, you can use the Edit While Capture with Drag and Drop

workflow to edit in-progress clips as they are being recorded via the AirSpeed 5000 Remote

Console Standalone. The clips will also be transferred into the shared storage location

configured in the AirSpeed 5000 Management Console.

Before you can perform an Edit While Capture, your system must have been set up using a Team

Configuration (Shared storage and no Interplay).

To perform an Edit While Capture (EWC) with drag and drop:

1. From the AirSpeed 5000 Remote Console, start a Record. For more information, see

“Recording Clips” on page 62.

2. Once the recording has begun, drag and drop the in-progress recording from the AirSpeed

5000 Remote Console into an Editor bin.

You will be asked if you want to transfer Now or Later.

3. Select Now.

The media appears online about 45 seconds after the transfer is started, and you can start

editing the clip.

There is a possibility that the clip drag and dropped to your bin will remain in-progress well

after the clip has completed transferring. In this case, you should navigate to the location

specified on the Default Templates tab under the Master clip location drop down

(\\<SystemDirector>\<Workspace>\Avid Masterclips) and import the .AAF file of the clip being

transferred. This clip will most likely be noted as <VideoID>_1.aaf in the folder. Importing this

file will close out the in-progress clip in the bin.

This behavior might occur in the event that the editor is constantly playing while a transfer to the

bin is taking place. The editor consumes all necessary resources to achieve playback of all

frames, which may prevent the bin from being updated upon completion of playback.

Clips edited while in this in-progress state may encounter issues when being exported. It is

required that if you are editing with an in-progress clip, and plan to export the composition, that

you consolidate the clip before the export is performed.
