Editing a programme

 
Introduction to editing
1. Find the programme you wish to add to your ClickView Library Server by following the steps in the previous section.
2. Set the start and stop time for the show by dragging the blue markers on the orange bar to the start and stop points of the show.
3. Ensure that your whole programme is contained within the blue markers on the orange line as changing the end position once you have completed editing will result in you losing all the editing.
4. Use the keyboard shortcuts to move through the programme in more fine tuned movements.
 
Entering metadata
On the right hand side of the ClickView 24-7 Show Finder are fields for the metadata for the programme.
1. Select the title from the available titles from the Electronic Programming Guide (EPG) or replace the existing title with your own.
2. If you have selected the title from the EPG, the rest of the metadata fields will automatically fill giving you the production year, the source and the description.
3. If you wish to alter anything you can do so by directly clicking in the field and typing text.
Do not select 'Yes' to altering your existing split points if you do not wish to
lose all the editing you have done. The title will change however you will
not be able to retrieve the rest of the metadata from the EPG.
It is recommended to do the metadata prior to editing and then complete
any final adjustments post-edit to minimise any loss.
   
Creating chapter breaks
1. Select the blue slide bar at the beginning of the green bar and using
the mouse and the keyboard shortcuts, navigate to the beginning of
your programme.
2. Insert a chapter break to mark the start of the programme by pressing the spacebar or by clicking on the button 'Insert Break Point' A white line will appear on the green bar marking that point.
If you hover the mouse over the green bar, you will see a chapter
information bubble which indicates the chapter times set and the chapters
selected for the show
   
Deleting chapter breaks
If you create a chapter/break point in the wrong spot, it is easily removed.
1. Move your mouse over the chapter/break point
2. Hold down the mouse and drag from the top left to the bottom right
over the break point or click on the chapter break
3. Release the mouse button
4. The chapter/break point will turn black
5. Use the 'delete' button on your keyboard to delete the chapter break
