segment of a news-magazine show, a webisode, stock footage,

on. An event is a flexible storage container that can be as all -
encompassing or as granularly compartmentalized as your raw
media and projects.

entire editing job, store your camera archives on a volume
physically separate from the volume you use for editing.
