Basics

2.6.4 Metaclips

VENICE metaclips are used as a container for video and audio clips.

They are normal text files that detail among others the location of the

included clips.

During a record with VENICE, metaclips are created automatically and

stored on the main storage same as the actual data (see section “The

Captured Files” on page 4-7). They can also be created via the list ed-

itors of the VENICE client software (see section “Playlist / Transcoding

List Editor” on page 6-2). For play-out, transcoding, playlists, or

transcoding lists VENICE metaclips can be specified just as any other

clip.

Normally one video and one or more audio clips are described in a

metaclip. However, it is also possible to reference to several video/au-

dio clips in a metaclip and they would be played out successively as list-

ed in the metaclip.

2.7 Exiting the Program

y Select the option Exit on the File menu (Mac: VENICE » Quit

This will close the instance of the VENICE client software. In case a con-

nection to a video channel is currently established, the connection will
