This applies to all YSTV edit machines:
* Tempvideo drives are '''NOT''' backed up! If you fail to copy your work to PendingEdits you '''MAY''' loose it!
* If you are not going to edit your show for 7 days or more it should be deleted from TempVideo.
* If your show if finished and on the YSTV website, the edit should be copied to FinishedShows and '''Deleted''' from '''BOTH''' TempVideo and PendingEdits.


==Windows Edit Machines==
* If your show is finished and on the YSTV website, the edit should be copied to FinishedShows '''and deleted from PendingEdits'''.
(The drives mentioned are located in My Computer)
* You should log on using the YSTV account for which the password is 'ystvuser'.
* If you are starting a new edit, this and any raw footage should be done on TempVideo (D drive).
* If you are continuing a previous edit, anything that is not up to date on TempVideo should be copied across from PendingEdits (P drive).
* Note a second TempVideo drive mapped to L, this is the TempVideo drive on the '''other''' edit machine. Do '''NOT''' try and edit from this drive!
* Once you have finished your edit copy the ''something''.prproj file to PendingEdits.
* If you have started a new edit, copy all raw footage, project files, and other resources to PendingEdits.


==The iMac==
===Windows Edit Machines===
(The drives mentioned here are located through the Finder application, and then the device YSTV's iMac at the bottom left. TempVideo is in Macintosh HD)
The drives mentioned are located in ''Computer''.
* You should log on using the YSTV User account, for which there is '''NO''' password.
 
* There is currently '''NO''' capture facility on this machine! This must be done on the Windows Machines.
* Log on using the ''YSTV'' account, for which the password is <code>ystvuser</code>.
* You must first map the shared drives onto the iMac - open finder, press ''cmd'' and ''k'', then choose the server called  smb://ystvfsrv.york.ac.uk, then choose the shared drives you would like to mount (This must be done '''every''' time you log on!).
* All editing should be done on PendingEdits (P: drive).
* You should then copy your raw footage from PendingEdits onto the TempVideo area.
 
* You must then transcode the footage before using it with Final Cut Pro - drop the footage into the folder called ''Transcode Tool'' found in the TempVideo area, then '''double click''' the file called ''Run Transcode'' (This will take about 1/2 real time!), when this is finished you are ready to start your edit.
===The iMac===
* At the end of your edit should copy the ''something.fcp'' file to PendingEdits.
