5.4 MANAGING GX CLIPS
5.4.1 GX CLIPS TAB
The GX Clips tab shows the GX clips defined in the GX server database,
information on the GX clips and on their upload status on the GX Clips drive.
For each new graphic file sequence imported to the Raw Materials drive, a new
entry for a GX clip is created in the GX server database.
As a consequence, a new row is added on the GX Clips tab for this video source,
to allow users to associate an audio file to the video and define playout
parameters for the GX clip.
5.4.2 FIELDS IN THE GX CLIPS TAB
The GX Clips tab provides the following information on the material available on
the GX Clips drive. The field values are not editable.
You can edit the GX clip parameters in the Edit GX Clips window. For more
information, refer to the section 5.5.2 ‘Editing GX Clips Parameters’, on page 44.
