When the VarID of a clip used in a playlist is modified, the VarID of the playlist
element is not necessarily modified consequently. The behavior of the system can
be summarized as follows.
If, in the Remote
Installer, the parameter

been set to… …and the playlist has

give priority to VarID with any insertion method not modify the VarID of
the corresponding playlist
element in any playlist.
• If a clip with the
original VarID is found
on the network, it is
associated to the
playlist
• If no clip with the
original VarID is found
on the network, the
element becomes a
virtual element.
Giving priority to VarID is typically useful in workflows where multiple versions of
the same edit must be restored to an EVS server. The VarID of the updated
playlist element cannot be changed because it still references the same content.

It is possible to modify the IN or OUT point of a playlist element. To do so,
proceed as follows:
1. Open the Control Panel and assign a player channel to it.
2. Open a playlist in the Playlist Panel interface.
3. Drag an element from the playlist onto the Control Panel.
The element will then be loaded on the Control Panel. The association is
indicated by the Channel field which turns light purple in both Control Panel
and Playlist Panel windows.
