You can import the .TXT file into a spreadsheet program that supports comma delimited

Chaining Clips in a Playlist
Sometimes you may want to group two or more clips together so the clips play
back-to-back as one continuous clip. This grouping is called chaining, and provides
the advantage of playing clips in succession without having to cue and play each one
individually.
You can also chain clips through your NCS through the Auto-Chain feature by setting
up your system so that any two or more consecutive clips assigned to the same channel
will chain automatically.
1. Select the clips you want to chain by clicking on one clip and holding down the
Shift key while selecting the other clip(s).
2. Right-click on one of the selected clips and select Chain Clips .
The clips are now chained together, indicated by a light blue rectangle around the
clips.
