In the network editing system, check [Use file change notifications from network] at all shared terminals. At [Network] in the [Watch Settings] dialog box, terminals set with [Broadcast file change notification] notify other terminals of any changes that are made to files in the watch folder. After receiving details of changes, the terminals execute processing according to the [Watch Settings] setting. When [Use file change notifications from network] is unchecked, details of changes are neither notified nor received.
6) Set each item and click [OK].
7) Click [OK].
The EDIUS Watch icon is displayed in the task tray at the bottom right of the screen.

Light blue: Watching folder
Red: New file added to the watch folder
“EDIUS Watch Tool” reflects tasks performed in the watch folder as follows.
Add file: Add a file to [Watch folder] in the bin. The file is not added when a file with the same name exists in the folder.
Delete file: Delete all files with the same file name in [Watch folder] in the bin.
Rename file: Replace all files with the same file name in the bin to ones with the new file name. Note, however, that a new file is added when you rename a file not registered to the bin.

|
[Watch Condition] |
Set the conditions for watching folders. [EDIUS is running] Automatically register a file to the bin when the file has been added to the watch folder while EDIUS is running. The file is not registered when a file is added while EDIUS is not running. [EDIUS is not running] Automatically register a file to the bin only when the file has been added to the watch folder while EDIUS is not running. The file is not registered when a file is added while EDIUS is running. [Always] When a file has been added to the watch folder, it is always registered to the bin automatically. [Only watch] This item is enabled when an MPEG file has been specified at [Extensions] or when editing while recording on the network editing system. When the watch folder is always monitored and a file is added, the file is added to [Detected Files] but not registered to the bin. Select this item on the capture terminal when editing while recording in the network editing system environment. |
|
[Use temporary file to save result of detected files] |
Check this item to save the detection results to a temporarily file to restore the last status at next start-up. Uncheck this item if you do not want to reflect the last status or your environment has changed greatly. |
|
[Add shortcut to startup] |
Start up “EDIUS Watch Tool” at the same time when Windows is starting up. |
|

|
[Edit While Recording mode] |

|
[Create seek information file in background] |
Check this item to automatically create the seek information result file in the background when an MPEG file has been added to the watch folder. If this file is created in advance, the seek can be speeded up when the added MPEG file is opened with EDIUS. [Rename/remove seek info file when source file is renamed/removed] Check this item to rename or delete the MPEG seek information result file in the same way when the MPEG file in the watch folder is renamed or deleted. [Give priority to PTS] This item cannot be changed. In EDIUS, the PTS (time stamp information) is given priority as the reference time of the seek. |
|
[Broadcast file change notification] |
In some file systems, details of changes are sometimes not reflected on other terminals even if the contents of a shared folder are changed (e.g. file added or deleted, or file renamed). When a shared folder is specified as the watch folder and this item is checked, EDIUS Watch Tool reflects the changes also on EDIUS Watch Tool that is running on other terminals on the network when the content of the folder is changed. Set this item only on capture terminals that directly export files to a shared folder. [Broadcast address] Set the broadcast address that is used for notifying details of changes. Setting the broadcast address of the subnet rather than a global address (255.255.255.255) is recommended. Set the broadcast address of the subnet, for example, in the format “192.168.0.255” for “192.168.0.x” address and in the format “10.0.x.x” for “10.0.x.x” address. The same address must be set on all shared terminals. |
Detected files are automatically registered to the bin when EDIUS is next started up. To disable registration of files to the bin, they must first be deleted from the list before EDIUS is started up.
