Chapter 5 Playing and editing clips
About playing clips
The Player/Recorder application allows you to play media stored on the K2 system,
including clips and programs. The application requires a play channel and has two
views— Control view and Cue view. The Control view allows you to play clips, trim
clips, and create new subclips. The Cue view is used to add cue points within a clip.
After adding cue points, you can use the cue list to start playback from any cue point
in the list.
About Live Play (Chase Play)
With AppCenter Pro, you can record an event in one channel, drag the thumbnail into
a play channel, and play the clip out while it is being recorded. This feature can also
be controlled by the K2 Dyno™ Replay Controller. You can control the Live Play
(Chase Play) as follows:
Control + L
— The play channel plays live, playing the clip as it is recorded.
Spacebar
— The play channel stops playing in Live Play mode.
For more information about Live Play, see “Operational specifications” on page 204 .
Working with clips that are still recording
The following restrictions apply when working with a clip in the Player application
that is currently recording:
• You cannot rename the clip. (However, you can rename the clip in the recording
channel or from the Media pane.)
• The clip mark-in/mark-out points cannot be modified.
• Subclips created from a clip currently being recorded can only have a Mark Out
equal to the last frame that has been recorded when the subclip is created. You
cannot create a clip longer than has been recorded under the assumption that the
unrecorded frames will “fill it in.”
• The length of the record-to-play delay depends on if the clip is in local storage or
shared storage. Refer to the “Operational Specifications” on page 203 for media
file system performance specifications.
Otherwise, clips that are currently being recorded behave normally. As a reminder,
“Read-Only” is displayed in the Player application when the clip loaded or playing is
still being recorded.
Playing a playlist saved as a program
Playlists can be loaded and played in the Player or Playlist applications. You can also
save a playlist as a program and then play it in the Player application. A program
includes all the media in the playlist but does not include any event that breaks the
flow of playout, such as a pause or a transition. When a program is loaded in the
Player application, it is handled in the same way as a simple clip. For more
information on creating programs refer to “Saving a list as a program” on page 103 .
