Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of NewTek Tuesday tutorials.
My name is Richard Evans and today I want to show you how to work with growing files.
So with a typical TriCaster broadcast scenario you're streaming your
show, you're recording it, switching your camera angles yadda yadda yadda. but say
that you wanted to go back after the fact and take those ISO recordings from
your TriCaster and cut say a highlight reel or just trim it up and edit a nice
little package together well that means you'd have to stop your
recordings and or wait for your broadcast to finish in order to grab
those files but not anymore you can now access your files while
they're being written and use those in Premiere Pro to start cutting together
that footage before your broadcast is even done so let's dive in and take a
look alright so here we are in the TriCaster tc1 interface and before we
get started I put a little lower third here of a clock just to show you that
I'm going to be recording this and having some time coming out so what we
need to do next is configure our recordings to be recorded to like a
shared drive or a network attached storage so you can do this however you
want you want to just share a folder on the local TriCaster Drive and have
access to that or have a network attached storage or better yet use some
of the new tech remote storage that's another way you can do it so let's go
ahead and I'm going to navigate to my shared folder here and I'm gonna make a
new folder and just call this growing files okay
so I'm going to be recording just to that particular folder and I'm only
gonna be recording my mix number one all right now I just want a some movement in
the background let me go ahead and throw up my new tech logo okay and let's start
recording to that shared drive alright so now we are off and running so now let
me move over to my premiere machine here and now what I want to do is I want to
access these files so in order to do that what I'll need to do is go to file
and import and then I'm going to navigate
that folder which again was called growing files and boom there is my file
which is currently writing and you can see as it's writing that the size of
that gets a little bit bigger each time so we'll go ahead and open that and drag
that over to my timeline and right now I only have just a few seconds because I
just started doing all this okay so now what I want to do is show you because
right now we just brought that into premiere and that's pretty much all we
have is it's 32 seconds of video but we can tell premier to monitor this file to
where I can continually edit it while I'm within premiere and while that
recording is still going so we'll go to the top here and click on edit and then
we'll go to preferences and then click on media all right now within this
window at the very bottom is the only thing we need to focus on and there's an
option here for growing files so we can click a this check box neck - it's where
we can automatically refresh growing files and we'll put this one as well and
then we can refresh those growing files however often you want I just have mine
set to 20 seconds alright so again all I had before was just my 32 seconds here
but now that I have that enabled check this out I can now extend that for as
long as I've been recording so again this file is still being written off the
the network attached Drive that I would cut this to but now I can go through and
start cutting it up and making my broadcast all directly from this
interface so no longer do I need to wait for my broadcast to be over in order for
me to get access to these files so as you can see this is a great way to
manage your time and start editing things even before your broadcast is
over which is great now if you like this tutorial but want a little bit more make
