Chapter 8 Working With Playlists
Locating a list in the Clips pane
• In List view, select the list icon or time dome, then select the context menu button
, and choose Locate .
The bin containing the list is shown in the Clips pane.
Saving a list as a program
Playlists can be saved as a program so that they can be managed as a single clip. This
saves the events in the list, but nothing that breaks the flow of playout such as pauses
between events or sections. Saving a list does not consume media storage space since
the program merely references the source clip media that is already stored in the
media file system. If the source clips are deleted, the media referenced by the program
is preserved. (
See “Deleting an asset” on page 239 .)
You can insert programs into other playlists, or load and play them using the standard
Player application. In Player, 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 pane.
2. In List view, select the context menu button , and choose Save As Program .
3. Use the Look in control to change the current bin if required.
4. Select the Program Name text entry control to enter the program name using the
onscreen or external keyboard, then click Save .
