2. Select New Playlist from the contextual menu.
The Create a New Playlist window is displayed. Refer to section ‘Create a
New Playlist Window’ on page 25 for more details on this window.
3. Fill in a playlist name and any desired information.
In the ‘Type’ area, press the Fill (or the Key) icon.
4. Click the OK button or the ENTER key.
The system creates both a Fill playlist and a Key playlist.
They are both created with the same information (name, keywords,…).
When the new playlist is created from an XT tree view in the Database Explorer, it
is made on-line on the selected XT, as well as its corresponding Fill or Key
playlist.
When the new Fill (or Key) playlist is created from a clip-list Panel or a Playlist
Panel associated to a channel, the playlist is made on-line on the XT of the
channel. If this channel is linked to another channel in a Fill & Key mode, the
corresponding Key (or Fill) playlist is made on-line on the XT of the corresponding
channel.

When creating a Fill (or Key) playlist, the corresponding Key (or Fill) playlist is
automatically created. However, with a drag-and-drop operation, it is possible
either to change the existing association afterwards, to associate two playlists for
which the respective links have been broken or to change the type of a Normal
playlist to associate it to a Fill or Key playlist.
How to Manually Associate Two Playlists as Fill and Key
To manually associate two playlists, proceed as follows:
1. In the Database Explorer, select a playlist 1 (Normal, Fill, or Key).
2. Drag it onto a playlist 2 (Normal, Fill, or Key), pressing the SHIFT and CTRL
keys at the same time.
The result will depend on the original type of the two playlists: some associations
are not allowed, some playlist type will be converted to another one.
