Chapter 6 Working with playlists
Saving a copy of a playlist
When you are creating a new playlist, you might find it easier to use an existing,
similar playlist as your starting point, rather than creating a list from scratch. To do
this you must first save a copy of the playlist with a new name. Then you can alter it
without changing the original playlist.
To save a copy of a playlist:
1. In the Clips pane, select the playlist.
2. Copy the playlist onto the clipboard, using the
Edit
menu or standard keyboard
shortcuts.
3. Paste the playlist into the Clips pane. If you paste the list into the same bin that you
copied it from, a dialog box appears giving you the choice to Abort, Ignore, or
Retry (saving as a different name).
4. Load the copied playlist into the Playlist application, and alter it to create your new
playlist.
Renaming a playlist
You can rename a playlist using the Playlist menu.
1. Select the playlist in the Clips pane.
2. In the Playlist file menu, select
Playlist | Rename
List.
3. Use the on-screen keyboard to enter and new name and click
OK
.
The renamed list appears in the Clips pane.
NOTE: Names can contain spaces. The following characters are not allowed: \
(backward slash), / (forward slash), : (colon), *(asterisk), ? (question mark), < (less
than), >(greater than), % (percent sign) and | (pipe) as well as " (double quote) and
~(tilde) at the beginning of the name. For more information on naming, see
“Understanding asset and bin naming limits” on page 114 .
Locking a playlist
You can lock a list to prevent changes from being made.
1. Make sure that the list to be locked is selected in the list pane.
2. Open the list properties dialog box, doing one of the following:
• Select the list icon in the event list, then click the
Properties
button.
• Right-click on the list and select
Properties
.
3. Click
General
, then choose the
Locked
option.
4. Click
OK
to close. The lock symbol appears.
