Creating and using rundowns and segments
Adding segments to a rundown
The R UNDOWN E DITOR contains the list of segments that make up the content and playout
order of the program. Populating the Rundown Editor involves adding segments to the
rundown list. Selecting a segment listed in the rundown list displays the contents of the
segments in the S
EGMENT E DITOR (next to the Rundown Editor).
The following sections provide instructions for adding segments to a rundown:
•
“Adding the first segment to a new rundown” on page 7-19
• “Adding additional segments to a rundown” on page 7-20

OTE
The F ILE >N EW S EGMENT command does not add a new segment to a rundown, rather it
creates a new shared segment using the Segment Window. See “Creating a new rundown
segment” on page 7-9 for more information.
Adding the first segment to a new rundown
Figure 7-11 shows that when a new rundown is created, the Segment Editor’s status reads
N O SEGMENT LOADED , which means that the current rundown does not yet contain any segments.
Figure 7-11. A newly created rundown does not contain any segments
To add a first segment to a rundown:
1.
Click the C REATE N EW S EGMENT button in the Segment Editor’s toolbar.
A new segment is added to the Rundown Editor’s list with N EW S EGMENT as its default
name.
2. The segments default name is highlighted (white) and can be edited immediately by
typing the new name (figure
7-12 ). If the default name is no longer highlighted, right-
click on the default name and use the R ENAME command to provide a new name for
the segment.
