transition effects, speed, tags.
Each time the OUT point of the last element is reached, the counter is
decreased.
When the counter is null, the element located just after the loop is played
taking into account its still/start modes, transition effects, speed, tags.
However, there are different ways to exit a partial loop and it is also possible
to manually exit the counter loop at any time. Refer to section ‘Exiting a Loop’
on page 101 for more information.
• Infinite loop
Loop which will be played indefinitely. No exit loop condition is defined at first.
Note
Nested loops are not allowed in IPDirector.
In this manual, nested loops can mean that
• one loop is totally included in another one
• the first or the last element of one loop is the first or the last element
of another one
• one loop is partially included in another one, i.e. one loop overlaps the
other one.
Trying to do so would provide an error message.
Display of Partial Loops in the Playlist Grid
When a partial loop has been defined, the following information is displayed in the
LOOP column of the playlist grid:
• A staple from the first and the last element of the loop. The staple will fit on one
single line if there is only one element in the loop.
• On the last line of the loop, the icon of the infinite loop type or the number of
times to play a counter loop.
