Chapter 6 Working with playlists
You can insert programs into other playlists, or load and play them using the standard
Player application. In Player application, you can edit the program mark-in and
mark-out points providing the source clips referenced by the program have not been
deleted. If that is the case, 1 second of media is preserved before and after the program
mark-in and mark-out allowing some trimming.
1. Load the playlist in the Playlist application.
2. Select
Playlist | Save As Program
.
3. Use the
Save In
control to change the current bin if required.
4. Select the
Program Name
text entry control to change the program name, then click
OK
.
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 .
The list is saved as a program in the current bin.
Importing a text file as a playlist
This feature is part of the licensable AppCenter Pro option.
Import text file as playlist
— If you are licensed for AppCenter Pro, you receive the
import text file as playlist feature. With this feature you can specify a playlist as a text
file and then import it into AppCenter. You can choose to import the playlist as a new
list or append to an existing list. When appending to an existing list, the imported
playlist is added as a section at the end of the existing list.
The information in the text file must be arranged as follows:
• The text file must have at least three columns, separated by spaces or tabs.
• For each row, one column must specify the clip name, one column must specify the
mark in point, and one column must specify the duration.
• The clip name can include a path, or it can be a simple clip name with no path.
Spaces in the path/name are not allowed.
• The format for specifying a path with the clip name is volume:/binname/clipname.
For example, V:/default/Clip_1.
• If the clip name has no path, the clip must be in the current bin.
• Timecode can be formatted with separators or without separators. If without
separators, it must be in format HHMMSSFF. If with separators, it can be in
single-digit format H:M:S:F, it can be in double-digit format HH:MM:SS:FF, or it
can have the single-digit and double-digit formats combined. Colon, semicolon,
period, and comma are all legal timecode separators.
• A “wild character” 99:99:99:99 can be used, in either the mark in or duration
columns, to indicate that the clip should be inserted in its entirety.
• A section can be specified in the following 3 ways:
