LOADING YOUR OWN VIDEO CLIPS
While the sample clips stored on TriCaster are great for practicing, when you are ready to make your
actual show, you'll probably want to load your own video clips.
Start by plugging in your USB storage media (such as a thumb drive or portable hard drive) into one of the
open USB ports on your TriCaster Mini—prior to beginning your show.
IMPORTANT: Connecting your USB storage media and loading your clips before beginning a live
show is highly recommended so that you don't interrupt the program in progress. Doing it during a
show may result in unintended consequences, like on-air mistakes.
1. Click the DDR 1 tab in the lower left of the screen, just beneath the Preview row of the switcher
2. Click the + button in the bottom-left corner of the DDR 1 bin to open the Media Browser
3. In the bottom-left corner of the Media Browser window, click the BROWSE button to open the
standard Windows Browser to view all of your connected storage
4. Click on your USB drive to view your files
5. Click on the clip(s) you want to load into DDR 1
6. Click the OPEN button in the bottom-right corner of the Windows Browser to add the clip(s) to DDR 1
IMPORTANT: Once you add a file to the DDR, it remains available and ready to play as long as your
USB storage media is connected. If you plan to disconnect your USB storage media, it's highly
recommended that you copy your files onto TriCaster Mini's local storage, using 1 of 2 methods:
A. Use the Import Media application on startup by clicking the Manage icon on the Session screen
(after you create and start your session, but before you start live production)
B. Open the TriCaster Media Browser, then click BROWSE to copy and paste the file(s) from the
USB storage media to TriCaster Mini's local storage
See the TriCaster Mini User Guide for more details.

Check the DDR 1 bin to ensure the thumbnail for the London Bus video clip is visible
and highlighted, and that it's cued up in the DDR 1 video window in the upper left
