Create the time signal
Clips
Prepare a folder that contains all the hour file and one with the minute files, the file name must be the name of the time or minutes it contains; for example, the seven o’clock file will be called 07.mp3.
Create the following clips:
- Start and/or end jingles (if expected)
- Audio Base
- Audio hours (e.g.
K:\TIME\HOURS\<HH>. MP3)</HH> - Minute audio (e.g.
K:\TIME\MINUTES\<mm>. MP3)</mm>
Composition
Under Database -> Compositions create a composition using Jingle, Base, and time and minute clips.
Place the Name in Description, and in the same way that you build a Clock, drag the files you want from the library on the right to the list on the left of the screen.
So for example:
- TIME SIGNAL BASE set as Whole Background if the file should go its entire length).
- WAIT Wait if the first part of the base has a speech (e.g. “It’s le”) indicating the double-click wait time in the LENGTH column.
- CLIP OF THE HOURS
- MINUTE CLIP
the composition generates a .xml file that is saved to the shared folder
K:\SHARED\Data\CH1\Compositions\TIME SIGNAL.xml
In Database -> Clips, create a new clip that has the xml of the composition you just created as a file and check Ignore Markout, and this will be the Clip you want to program.
If you need a video to match the time signal, enter the composition path in the Audio Files field and the video in the File Name field.
