Sequences and Stories
The NRCS tool lets you create a new sequence with a length that corresponds to a particular story.
This feature makes it very easy to edit in shots and to create a sequence quickly according to the
duration of the story.
n
(iNEWS) The Tape-Time text box in the story form of the NRCS tool corresponds to duration in Media
Composer’s Timeline.
(ENPS) The first MOS media item in the story determines the sequence duration.
Consider the following when you place clips in the new sequence:
• The NRCS tool processes loaded cues in the order they appear in the story text. The tool edits
only those that appear before the end of the text (and before the end of the sequence) into the
sequence.
• The NRCS tool uses the read time of the text up to the anchor point for the loaded cue to
determine the placement of the Timeline position bar for each edit. The clip’s IN to OUT points
determine the edit length.
• performs an Overwrite edit.
• As you edit the series of clips into the Timeline, you overwrite the ends of the earlier clips. The
time separation of the anchors in the story text set the lengths of the clips.
Building a Sequence from a Story
To build a sequence from a story:
1. Open the bin in which you want to place your sequence.
2. Do one of the following:
t Select the story in the Directory panel, and drag the story to the open bin.
t Select the story in the Directory panel, right-click, and then select Build Sequence from
Story.
t Click the Build Sequence button.
The Build Sequence button is active only when the Story panel displays a story and the
computed duration is not zero.
Media Composer creates a sequence in the open bin with the same name as the story.
(iNEWS only) An identifier appears in the NrcsID column in the bin, specifying the story
associated with the new sequence (see “Using Associated Sequences” on page 988).
(iNEWS only) The Tape-Time text box determines the duration of the sequence. If you want to
build a sequence with a different duration, you must first edit the Tape-Time text box and save
the story. The video-ID field of the story provides the value for the sequence’s tape ID bin
column.
n
Sequences created with any of these methods have a fixed minimum length. You can lengthen the
sequences (by adding clips) but not shorten them.
