Session Recording and Session Tiles

When editing a piece of audio or video information, you can save your work in two different ways, as multimedia subdocument tiles or as a session. A subdocument tile manages a single clip (sound clip or video clip as in the video editing example included here). A session manages an entire collection of clips. In the example, the session includes all the clips on all topic recording lines.

Unlike subdocument tiles, which act like any other tiles, sessions can only be opened in the media editor. When you save work as a session, you save a audio/video editor configuration, with each NE involved in a particular piece of editing attached to its respective topic recorder and every topic on every line accounted for.

Session tiles can fit either a temporary or a permanent use. Temporarily, they allow you to spread editing work on a piece of multimedia information over several work periods. At the end of each work period, save your editing as a session, and then you can come back to it, exactly as it was, at your next work period.

Permanently, a media session can provides an index for the source recording. The DNE creates a table of contents for your clips, allowing you to quickly and easily navigate through your session and find the exact clip you want.
