• Playlist Editor - The workspace where pages, templates, scenes and clips
can be organized into a sequential playlist. See page 6-2 for full details on
using the Playlist Editor.
• Segment window - Very similar to the Playlist Editor, the Segment window
allows you to build a portion of a sequential playlist to be used in a rundown.
