set up your workstation for sharing.
To share files:

D:\).
2. Right click on the VibrintAVFiles folder and choose Sharing.
3. Select the Shared As option and leave the default share name VibrintAVFiles.
Click
OK
.
The folder you shared appears with the standard Windows sharing icon.
About Aurora Edit video sources
Before using footage from a particular source, you need to add the source to the Aurora
Edit source list. Aurora Edit pre-installs two sources for you — a video source and a
clip source:
Allows you to record footage directly into the Timeline or Bin; usually
a tape deck.
Video source
Allows you to edit a clip as a Timeline source directly in the Bin, which
is useful for large clips so you don’t have to go back and forth from a

tape deck. You only need one clip source; you don’t have to create a
new clip source for each clip you want to use
