==Windows Edit Machines==
* TempVideo drives are '''''NOT''''' backed up. If you fail to copy your work to PendingEdits '''''you may lose it'''''!
(The drives mentioned are located in My Computer)
* If you are not going to edit your show for 7 days or more it should be moved from TempVideo.
* You should log on using the YSTV account for which the password is 'ystvuser'.
* If your show is finished and on the YSTV website, the edit should be copied to FinishedShows '''and deleted from both TempVideo and PendingEdits'''.
* 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).
===Windows Edit Machines===
* 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!
The drives mentioned are located in ''Computer''.
* Once you have finished your edit copy the ''something''.prproj file to PendingEdits.
 
* Log on using the ''YSTV'' account, for which the password is <code>ystvuser</code>.
* 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).

* If you have started a new edit, copy all raw footage, project files, and other resources to PendingEdits.
:* If you have continued a previous edit, all changes in Premiere are contained in the <code>.prproj</code> file - you should only need to copy this back, not all of your footage as well.
===The iMac===
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 iMac==
* Log on using the ''YSTV User'' account, for which there is no password.
(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)
* There is currently '''no capture facility''' on this machine. This must be done on the Windows machines.
* You should log on using the YSTV User account, for which there is '''NO''' password.
* You must first map the shared drives onto the iMac:
* There is currently '''NO''' capture facility on this machine! This must be done on the Windows Machines.
:# Open ''Finder''
* 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!).
:# Press ''Cmd''+''K'' and choose the server called <code>smb://ystvfsrv.york.ac.uk</code>
* You should then copy your raw footage from PendingEdits onto the TempVideo area.
:# Choose the shared drives you would like to mount. This must be done '''every''' time you log on.
* 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.
* Copy your raw footage from PendingEdits onto the TempVideo area.
* At the end of your edit should copy the ''something.fcp'' file to PendingEdits.
* 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
:# '''Double click''' the file called ''Run Transcode''
:# This will take about half the play time of the video to complete. When it has finished you are ready to start your edit.
* At the end of your edit, copy the <code>yourprojectname.fcp</code> file to PendingEdits.
