LET’S GET STARTED:

ONCE YOU’RE LOGGED IN, HIT CHANNELS ON THE LEFT RAIL, MAKE SURE WDAF-1 IS SHADED LIGHT BLUE, YOU CAN CONFIRM THAT IN SHOW BY SEEING THE NEWSCAST PLAY, OR SEE THE REPLAY WHEN WE’RE OUT OF NEWS IN THE PLAYER BOX TO THE RIGHT. TO CUT A STORY OR SEGMENT, HIT CLIP IN THE FAR RIGHT BOX

AFTER HITTING CLIP, YOU’LL SEE THE NEWSCAST PLAYER IN A LARGER DISPLAY, AND A TIMELINE BELOW IT. VIDEO ALWAYS STARTS MUTED, SO HIT THE VOLUME BUTTON SO YOU CAN HEAR WHAT’S GOING ON. DRAG THE RED CURSOR TO THE BEGINNING OF THE STORY TO SET AN IN POINT, WHICH YOU CAN SELECT WITH THE “MARK IN” BUTTON OR PRESS “I” ON YOUR KEYBOARD

NEXT YOU CAN EITHER DRAG THE BLUE BAR OR THE RED CURSOR TO THE END OF THE CLIP. TYPICALLY I USE THE BLUE BAR FOR LONGER CLIPS, THE RED CURSOR FOR STANDARD STORIES BECAUSE IT ALLOWS YOU TO BE MORE PRECISE. SET THE OUT MARK BY EITHER HITTING THE “MARK OUT” BUTTON OR HIT “O” ON YOUR KEYBOARD. AN EASY WAY TO VERIFY YOU’VE CLIPPED IN AND OUT PROPERLY IS TO CHECK THE “CLIP DURATION” WHICH MOST OF THE TIME WILL RANGE BETWEEN 1 MINUTE AND 3 MINUTES.

NEXT DRAG THE RED CURSOR SOMEWHERE WITHIN THE TIMELINE TO SELECT A SNAPSHOT,WHICH YOU’LL USE FOR YOUR STORY’S FEATURED IMAGE. WHEN YOU’VE LANDED ON THE RIGHT PICTURE, HIT THE SNAPSHOT BUTTON AND VERIFY YOUR SELECTION IN THE “SNAPSHOTS” SECTION BELOW THE TIMELINE.

NOW YOU’VE GOT YOUR FULL VIDEO PLUS A PICTURE, HIT THE DROPDOWN FOR “PROGRAM” AND SELECT “NEWS” THEN ADD A TITLE, A DESCRIPTION AND TAGS (NEWS, LOCAL NEWS). THE TITLE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT AND VISIBLE PART OF THIS, MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO TYPOS AND IT INVITES THE VIEWER TO WATCH:

NEXT WE’LL GO INTO CONTENT ON THE LEFT RAIL AND HIT “VIDEOS” WHERE YOU’LL LOCATE YOUR MOST RECENT CLIP. YOUR CLIP IS READY WHEN YOU CAN SEE THE SEMI-TRANSPARENT PLAY BUTTON ON THE VIDEO ITSELF, THEN YOU’LL HIT THE UPLOAD ID THAT’S BLUE AND HYPERLINKED:

ONCE YOU’RE IN THE VIDEO ITSELF, YOU’LL DOWNLOAD YOUR FEATURED IMAGE AND SAVE IT SOMEWHERE ON YOUR COMPUTER:

YOU NOW HAVE ALL THE ELEMENTS YOU NEED TO ADD A VIDEO TO A STORY, GO INTO WORDPRESS, MAKE A NEW POST AND THE VIDEO NUMBER, TYPICALLY A 7-DIGIT NUMBER THAT’S THE UPLOAD ID. COPY AND PASTE IT INTO THE ANVATO PLAYER AT THE TOP OF THE POST
