• Or press * Stop twice, and then Play (playback of the active item ends with the first Stop command;
the second sets the playhead to the start of the current item in the new playlist).
* Normally, pressing Stop a second time when a clip is playing resets the playhead to the start frame in
the same clip . The exception above occurs only when you are previewing the content of a different
MEM slot during playback.

NETWORK SHARING
Default media file folders ( Clips , Stills , etc.) are maintained for each session. This approach makes it easy to
locate items using the Custom File Browser , and is also convenient for other file management purposes.
The default media locations for the active session can be made
accessible across your local network. Share Media Folders and
Buffers in the File menu is on by default, and allows network clients
to update media in the active session, even while live. The following
session media locations are dynamically shared:
• Audio
• Clips
• Stills
• Titles
• Buffers
Note: Several ‘non - session dependent’ locations in the main
application folder are also shared. This allows applications such as
NewTek’s Virtual Set Editor, etc., running on external systems to
export directly to the local system. These network shares are
unaffected by the Share Media Folders and Buffers setting.
When suitable content is added to these shared folders, the Media
Browser provides immediate access to it. Simply select the session name
(under Clips , Stills , etc.) in the Location List at left to reveal the updated files
in the File Pane at right.
This is wonderfully convenient but should be approached with a measure of common sense. Network
bandwidth has fixed limits. Be judicious
when transferring large files while ‘live’. You may be using the
network for many purposes – including streaming, or NDI video feeds from a 3Play ® , as well as any unrelated
traffic on the network.
Transferring very large files across
a network can time-consuming and
impacts both disk access and
network resources.
When these resources are already
heavily taxed, dropped frames on
streaming or video outputs, or
sluggish response to controls may
result.
We strongly urge you to gather
media assets before starting your
live
productions whenever
possible.
