EVS IPDirector Version 6.2 - June 2013 PLAYLIST PANEL User Manual - Manual (Page 84)

• The user can drag a clip from the Database Explorer or a Control Panel to an on-line or
off-line playlist, whatever the clip elements included in the clip.
• If the user drops a clip that only contains a file to an on-line playlist, IPDirector will
suggest the user to restore the file onto an EVS server.
• If the user drops a clip that only contains a file to an off-line playlist, IPDirector will
only suggest the user to restore the file when the playlist will be set on-line.
5.3.3. Limitations with Inserting or Appending a
Train
1. When a train is added to a playlist using a drag-and-drop operation or the APPEND
button, it is inserted in the playlist as a DELAY of 2 seconds with an undefined OUT
point. This is because of a delay when playing a record train from another EVS server
which cannot be played LIVE, so all trains are treated the same for this operation.
2. A train inserted or appended into a playlist will be stopped only manually when played
out.
5.3.4. How to Insert an Element by a Drag-and-
Drop Operation into the Playlist Grid
An element can be inserted into the playlist by a drag and drop operation. Proceed as
follows:
1. Select the element you want to insert in the playlist by clicking it in one of the places
listed in "Possible Operations" on page 68.
2. Drag it onto the playlist grid at the position where you want to insert the element. The
drop position is displayed by a black thicker line in-between the elements where the
element will be inserted.
The element is inserted before or after the selected element in the list depending on the
"Insert mode in playlist" parameter of the Tools > Settings > Playlist > Playlist /
General category. See section "General Settings" on page 142 for more information.
5.3.5. Rules when Inserting a Playlist in Another
One
When a Playlist 2 is inserted into a playlist 1, it is inserted as a group:
• If the playlist 2 is inserted inside a group of the playlist 1, the elements of playlist 2 are
inserted at the drop position and the group is extended.
• If the playlist 2 is inserted outside any group in playlist 1, playlist 2 elements are
inserted as a group at the drop position in playlist 1.
Note
If the dropped playlist initially contained some groups, they are not kept when it
is inserted in the other playlist.
