Warning
If a clip is present in a playlist and you delete it from the Database Explorer,
using the Delete option, the corresponding playlist element
• will be deleted as well if the playlist is on-line
• will be replaced by a virtual element if the playlist is off-line and no
corresponding clip element is still present
• will be replaced by the file corresponding to the deleted XT clip if the playlist
is off-line and a file is still present.
For a comprehensive description of the Delete Clip option, refer to section
"Deleting a Clip" in part 3 "Browsing" of the user manual.
1.5.8. Modifying a Playlist Element
Modifying the VarID of a Clip
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 When associating
clips to playlist elements has
been set to…
…and the playlist
has been
created…
then, modifying the VarID
of a clip will
give priority to element ID manually (drag-
and-drop
operations, LSM
remote operations,
…) modify the VarID of the
corresponding playlist
element in any playlist.
from an external
system not modify the VarID of the
corresponding playlist
element in any playlist.
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.
