Using mixed aspect ratios in a playlist
AppCenter can play clips with different aspect ratios in a single playlist.
The AppCenter supports playout of mixed format clips displayed with default or selectable modes
such as bars, crop, or stretch on both SD and HD outputs.
Refer to specifications about how the system displays mixed aspect ratios.

Using mixed video resolutions in a single playlist
Playlists can contain events with different video resolutions. When the list is played, the media is
converted as needed to match the play channel video output type selected.
Inserting a clip that is still recording
Clips that are currently recording behave as other clips do in a list except for the following restriction:
the event-out timecode is set to the last recorded frame at the time the clip is inserted. You can move
the event-out timecode as needed while the clip is still recording or after record is stopped.
Improving performance while modifying a playlist
If you are making multiple changes to a playlist, especially a long playlist, you can improve response
time by playing the list while editing it. This allows you to add/remove/modify events without
waiting for database updates, since changes to the playlist are not saved until playout stops.
Inserting a playlist in a playlist (workarounds)
While AppCenter does not support a true “nested” playlist, you can retain some of the functionality
of inserting a playlist in a playlist in the following ways.
• Save the list as a program, then insert it into another playlist as an event.
• Use multi-item select and copy/paste.
• Copy/paste events or sections within the same list or from other lists.
• Copy the list in the Clips pane, then load and edit the list.
