Adding Elements in a Fill or a Key Playlist

Adding an element by drag-and-drop operation into a Fill (or Key) playlist can be
done in the same way as for adding a Normal element into a Normal playlist. Refer
to section ‘How to Insert an Element by a Drag-and-Drop Operation into the
Playlist Grid
’ on page 54.

However, the system will behave differently depending on the type of the element

added and the type of the playlist. The table below summarizes the actions
resulting from the insertion of an element into a playlist:

a Key playlist. You should insert the Fill clip into the fill playlist to avoid
any confusion.
