This applies to all YSTV edit machines:


* TempVideo drives are '''''NOT''''' backed up. If you fail to copy your work to PendingEdits '''''you may lose it'''''!
* If your show is finished and on the YSTV website, the edit should be copied to FinishedShows '''and deleted from PendingEdits'''.
* If you are not going to edit your show for 7 days or more it should be moved from TempVideo.
* If your show is finished and on the YSTV website, the edit should be copied to FinishedShows '''and deleted from both TempVideo and PendingEdits'''.

* Log on using the ''YSTV'' account, for which the password is <code>ystvuser</code>.
* 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).
* All editing should be done on PendingEdits (P: 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 to edit from this drive!
* Once you have finished your edit, copy the <code>yourprojectname.prproj</code> file to PendingEdits.
* 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 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''.
To be added... once we figure out how to Mac.
 
* 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.
* You must first map the shared drives onto the iMac:
:# Open ''Finder''
:# Press ''Cmd''+''K'' and choose the server called <code>smb://ystvfsrv.york.ac.uk</code>
:# Choose the shared drives you would like to mount. This must be done '''every''' time you log on.
* Copy your raw footage from PendingEdits onto the TempVideo area.
* You must then transcode the footage before using it with Final Cut Pro. This will only work for HD files, for SD, contact one of the Computing Team to sort it out (hint for Computing Team, try the ''Transcode SD.sh'' script):
:# Drop the footage into the folder called ''Transcode Tool'' found in the TempVideo area
:# Make sure all the file extensions are lowercase, ie ''MyVideo.m2t'' rather than ''MyVideo.M2T''.
:# '''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.
