Using the SCENE MARK menu, you can assign clips to folders using the numeric keypad on the optional remote control unit. To add all assigned clips to their respective folders on the disk drive, select UTILITIES>ORGANIZE CLIP from the FS-2/2E menu.

Once complete, an additional file is added to the disk named “grade” and files are moved to the selected folder for easy access on an NLE system.

Do not delete the file named “grade” from the disk if you intend to use the disk on FireStore again.

Connecting the FS-2/2E to a Network
