VBrick Systems v4.4 manual Editing Files, Moving Files via FTP

Editing Files

The Archive Editor allows selecting a portion of the MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video file for immediate playback, and permits saving this clip as a new file. The editor is not frame- accurate; rather, it indicates how many seconds from the start of the file that the edited section begins, and how many seconds from the start of the file until it ends.

TTo edit an MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video file:

1.After selecting an MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video file, put the viewer in pause mode by starting and then pausing the clip within the Edit Clip window.

2.Next, select Start Transmit and move the slider to the point in the video where the clip will start.

3.Select End Transmit and move the slider to where the clip will end.

Note: The Start and End times are displayed, as well as the duration of the clip. (The Clip Editor displays an error if the times are entered incorrectly, such as the start time after the end time or vice versa).

4.To play the new clip, press the Play button. Keep creating clips until the one that’s played is satisfactory (this button is grayed out while paused).

5.To save the clip, use Save As and enter a file name (this button is grayed out while paused).

6.Press Start to save the clip to disk as a new MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 file.

Moving Files via FTP

StreamPlayer Plus has a built-in file transfer capability that allows an MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 saved file to be instantly transferred to a FTP server. Selecting FTP from the Archive Viewer brings up the FTP dialog box as shown.
