Cueing and Playing Clips
Once you have a playlist, you can cue the clips to the appropriate channels and
play them to air.
Cueing Clips
The playlist automatically cues the first clips if the Auto Cue on loading
Rundown option is on, and cues subsequent clips when prior clips have played.
If a clip isn’t ready for playback, the clip is skipped and the next available clip
cues. You can also cue clips manually.
There are several ways to cue clips:
• Select the clip you want to cue and click Cue All on the toolbar.
All channels are recued as specified in the automatic channel assignment,
starting with the selected clip.
• Manually cue a clip by dragging it to the target channel.
• In the channel window, click one of the following buttons:
- Recue Current Clip — Resets the current clip in the channel back to the
beginning; the clip is ready to play.
- Cue Previous Clip — Cues the previous clip assigned to the particular
channel; if no channel assignment is specified, NewsQ Pro cues the first
previously available clip.
- Cue Next Clip — Cues the next clip assigned to the particular channel; if no
channel assignment is specified, NewsQ Pro cues the next available clip.
- Turn Loop Playback On/Off — When on, continuously loops the
currently playing clip. To turn loop playback off, click this button again.
- Set Mark In — Marks the starting point of the trimming of the clip.
- Set Mark Out — Marks the end-point of the trimming of the clip.
- Clear Marks — Clears all the trim marks on the clip.
- Preview Out Cue — Cues the clip to automatically play the last few
seconds of the clip and immediately recue. (The number of seconds that
is previewed is determined by your studio’s needs.) You cannot set
preview out cue while the cue is playing.
