You cannot undo this action. If you want to associate a different sequence with your story,
select a new sequence and repeat the procedure.
The new sequence becomes an associated sequence, which lets you open it by using the
Find Sequence button in the NRCS tool (see “Using Associated Sequences” on
page 970).
Adjusting the Story Timing (iNEWS Only)
You might want to adjust the story timing in cases where you use the Mark IN/OUT button
to set In and Out points in the Timeline based on the story text timing.
For example, if your story has introductory text that you do not want included in the
sequence, you can set In and Out points in the sequence so that the extra text offsets the
computed times.
You must be in Edit mode to insert timing cues in a story. For information on entering edit
mode, see “Editing Story Text (iNEWS Only)” on page 957.
To correct computed times offset by extra text:
t Add a Time Marker cue with a value of 0:00 just before the start of the relevant text
(corresponding to the sequence being built).
Adjusting the Story Timing with a Time Marker (iNEWS Only)
Because the calculated story timing might not exactly match the required sequence or clip
duration, the NRCS tool lets you add cues to assign a specific time to a point in the text.
To add a cue to the text that assigns a specific story time:
1. In the Story panel, right-click where you want to add a Time Marker cue, and select
Insert Time Marker.
The Time Marker dialog box opens.
2. Type the time you want to assign to that point in the text.
