Recordings are the raw video files captured during your live broadcasts. They are the starting point for every clip you create in Visual Radio Assist.
How Recordings Work
When a live show ends, VRA detects the new file in your configured Ingest Source and makes it available in your Clips library. The recording itself stays on your local machine - VRA streams it to your browser on demand. There is no upload step. Your video files never leave your infrastructure until you explicitly export a clip.
Browsing Recordings
Open the Clips section and navigate to Recordings. Here you can:
- Browse all available recordings in a paginated grid view
- Filter by date range to find a specific show
- Filter by scheduling program to narrow results by show type
- Search recordings by file name
- Hover over a recording card to scrub through thumbnail frames for a quick preview
Each recording card displays the file name, total duration, associated studio, and recording date. While a thumbnail is still being generated, a loading indicator is shown.
Creating a Clip from a Recording
Click on any available recording to open it in the project editor. A new project is created automatically, and you can start selecting the moment you want to clip right away.
