Creating a Master Clip in a Notify Action
Use the Create Master Clip to create a Master Asset on the Interplay server with a
unique MOB ID and return it.
Master and Source MOB IDs: The files are dynamically linked in the Interplay system by
the MOB IDs that are retrieved from the Create Master Clip function when bound to the
MOB ID variables. The MOB IDs are retrieved by a Web Service call.
The MOB IDs act as a unique identifier for the media and metadata in the Interplay
system that ties all the assets together for further Interplay actions and editing in Media
Composer.
Once a MOB ID has been inserted into media generated you can also extract it for use in
other actions. For example, you can pass it to another Flip action to create other media
files using the same MOB ID. Or, you can pass it to a Notify action to interact with
Interplay and perform a variety of operations on an asset by its MOB ID.
The figure below illustrates the configuration of the Interplay notifier to create a MOB
ID in an ASF workgroup and return a MOB ID.

Change the text to indicate the fields can be bound by a variable.n this example, the
ASF workgroup is specified manually. The clip name, Interplay folder, and tape are all
supplied by variables, whose value may change for each job. The Master and Source
MOB IDs are returned in variables which can be used by downstream actions.
