Before playing elements in Auto-Play mode, you need to ensure that a player
channel has been assigned to the Database Explorer. For more information on
this, refer to section 12.1 ‘How to Assign a Player Channel to the Database
Explorer’, on page 114.
To start playing elements in Auto-Play mode, proceed as follows:
1. In the Database Explorer, open the clip or clip element branch or the bin
from where you want to play elements in Auto-Play mode.
2. Click the Auto-Play button on the toolbar.
Auto-Play mode is activated and the button turns orange.
3. Click the first element from where you want to play in Auto-Play mode.
The element is directly played on the player that is assigned to the Database
Explorer. Then all the subsequent elements in the Database Explorer window are
played in the displayed sequence until the last element of the list is finished.
The element being played out is highlighted in dark green in the Database
Explorer grid and the next element is in light green.
Note
If playlists or trains are included in a list of elements on which the Auto-
Play mode is applied, they will be skipped.
