1. Click both DDR 1 and the Graphics (or Still) tabs, so you can see both players. (TriCaster
855 owners can use Still and Title instead).
2. Click any icon in the DDR 1 playlist, and press CTRL + a on the keyboard, to select all of
the playlist entries.
3. Press Delete on your keyboard, clearing out the entire playlist (this is a non-destructive
deletion, never fear).
4. Repeat the two steps above for Graphics (Still).
5. Add some image files (a dozen or more) to DDR 1 (you can use some of the images from
the NewTek Content group under the Still location heading for this example).
6. Click on one the icons about halfway through the playlist, highlighting it.
7. Hold down the Shift key, and click the last icon in the playlist. This will multi-select all of
the files from the first one you clicked to the last one (the icons are given a lighter
outline to show their selection status).
8. Right-click anywhere in the playlist, and select Cut from the context menu.
9. Right-click in the playlist area of the second Media Player, and select Paste.
Let’s pause to review. To this point, we've prepared two Media Players with similar playlists
consisting of a series of still images.
Hint: Still image files default to a fifteen second duration when added to a playlist.
Fine, but ‘what about the aforementioned fun’, you ask? Indeed, let us press on:
10. Turn Single and Autoplay on, and make sure Loop is off for both Media Players.
11. Select DDR 1 on the Switcher’s Program row.
12. Select Graphics (Still) on the Switcher’s Preview row.
