Rearranging a Playlist
The clip appears in the channel and cues up for play. To remove a clip from an
assigned channel, right-click in the channel window and select
Eject .
If you are using a local playlist (not associated with an NCS rundown), you can also
let Aurora Playout reassign the channels for you:
• Select Tools | Auto Reassign Channels .
New channel assignments appear in the Assign column.
To use this feature, you need to configure Aurora Playout for Hard Channel
Assignment . See “Setting Playback Options” on page 43 for more information.
Rearranging a Playlist
You can rearrange clips in a playlist, though 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.
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 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. However, doing so breaks the link between
Aurora Playout and the NCS rundown, and the Sync button on the toolbar flashes to
indicate that the playlist is not synced anymore. In that case, you won’t see any
subsequent changes made to the NCS rundown.
To add clips to a playlist:
1. If the Clip Browser isn’t open, click Clip Browser .
The Clip Browser appears, displaying all available clips.
2. Drag a clip into the Playlist window. To append the clip to the bottom of the
playlist, drag the clip onto the scroll bar at the bottom of the playlist window.
