Grass Valley Aurora Playout v.8.1 - Manual (Page 147)

For instance, you may have a small clip that you want to play in between two
longer clips to create a smooth transition. So, you can assign the small clip to a
specific channel.
NOTE: If you are using an NCS, you should assign channels through the
NCS instead of using this method.
You can remove the clip assignment by right-click on the clip and select Unassign Clip .
All clips that are unassigned to specific channels will be cued to any channels in rotation, while a
clip that is assigned to a specific channel will only be cued to that channel regardless of the current
rotation status.
Rearranging clips in a Playlist
You can rearrange clips in the playlist of Aurora Playout.
However, doing so breaks the link between Aurora Playout and the NCS rundown. Therefore, you
won’t see any subsequent changes made to the NCS rundown. For this reason, you should reorder
the rundown through the NCS when possible.
If you created a playlist manually, you can rearrange clips as necessary.
To rearrange clips, you can use one of the following methods:
• Using the toolbar icons or keyboard shortcuts, you can cut ( Ctrl + X ), copy ( Ctrl + C ), and paste
( Ctrl + V ) clips in any order in the playlist.
• You can also just drag clips to another position in the playlist.
Adding new clips to a playlist
Occasionally, you may need to add a news clip directly to the playlist if you aren’t able to add it to
the NCS rundown first.
