Display or Control | Description | |
1 | Strata list | Displays the strata configured for editing. For Interplay Production assets, the only choice in the Strata list is “Markers & Restrictions.” Strata is an Interplay MAM feature that does not currently apply to Interplay Production assets. For more information, see Logging Interplay | MAM Assets. |
3 | Create Marker button | Click to create a new marker at the timecode selected in the Media pane. This button displays the color of the next marker to be added. You can also create a new marker by pressing Ctrl+M (Windows and Macintosh) or Command + M (Macintosh). You can create a new marker of a specific color by pressing Ctrl plus a key on the numeric keypad. See Logging Pane (Interplay | Production) Shortcuts |
2 | Select Color button | Click the down arrow and select the color you want for the next marker. |
4 | Create Restriction button | Creates a restriction for the segment marked by In and Out points in the Media pane. See Working with Restrictions. |
5 | Export button | Displays options for exporting marker text to other applications. See Exporting Markers. |
6 | Refresh button | Updates the display of markers saved for the selected clip or sequence. This control is especially useful when multiple loggers are adding markers to the same clip or sequence, or when a journalist wants to see the latest information added by the loggers. If the focus is in the Logging pane, you can also press F5 to update the display. |
7 | Save button | Saves all markers and exits edit mode. |
8 | Save status message | Displays whether or not markers for the clip or sequence are saved. The messages are “Unsaved changes,” “Saving,” or “All changes saved.” |
9 | Info icon | Displays the name of the selected stratum when you hover the mouse pointer over the Info icon. For Interplay Production, the only info is “Stratum that contains all media markers and restrictions.” |
10 | Pane Menu button | The Pane menu for the Logging pane contains options for both Interplay Production and Interplay MAM assets. The following options are available for Interplay Production: • Add or Remove Columns. Select the columns you want to display. • Delete. Functions the same as the Delete key (Windows), Backspace (Macintosh), or fn+Backspace (MacBook). • Help. Displays a Help topic describing controls in the Logging pane. From this topic you can access the entire MediaCentral UX Help system. |
11 | Filter button, text field, and criteria list | Lets you set criteria for filtering the list of markers. Filtering does not apply to restrictions. See Filtering Interplay Production Logs. |
12 | Columns | The Logging pane has six or seven available columns: • (no label): Displays orange for the selected marker or markers. • IN: Displays the timecode in the clip or sequence that corresponds to the location of the marker or restriction. • OUT: Displays the timecode in the clip or sequence that corresponds to the end of a restriction. • Notes: Displays the text associated with the marker. You can cut, copy, and paste this text. See Cutting, Copying, and Pasting Text. • Color: Displays the icon associated with the marker. • User: Displays the name of the Interplay Production user who created the marker. • Angle: For a group clip, displays the name of the master clip for each marker or restriction. See Markers and Restrictions for Group Clips. After you create a new marker, the focus is in the first column to the right of the OUT column. This is the Notes column by default. You can adjust the width of columns and rearrange the order of columns by dragging and dropping. The default sorting in the Logging pane is by timecode, from lower to higher. Starting with MediaCentral UX v2.9, you can click a column head to sort in the following ways: • IN or OUT: lower to higher, or higher to lower. • Notes: alphabetically, or reverse alphabetically. |
13 | Unselected marker | Gray indicates a marker that is not selected. |
14 | Restriction | A restriction is displayed in several ways: • The restriction is displayed at the timecode where it starts. The IN and OUT columns show the span of the restriction. The far left column is colored dark orange. • A warning icon is displayed in the Color column. • If there are markers within the restricted span, the far left column is colored orange, and the bottom of the last marker row in the span is marked by a thin yellow line. |
