Creating and using playlists
Adding shared pages, scenes and clip assets to a playlist
Shared pages, scenes and clips are three asset types that can be added to different
playlists. Although these assets are stored on the Xmedia Server, they are accessible to
Xbuilder through the Asset Browser.

Since shared pages exist in the Xmedia Server as distinct assets, they can be used in many
different playlists as a common item. A noteworthy drawback of using shared pages in
multiple playlists is that if the shared page is edited or deleted, you will (perhaps
unintentionally) affect all of the playlists that contain that shared page.
The following instructions describe how to add shared pages, scenes and clip asset to a
playlist by dragging the asset from the Asset Browser to the playlist. If however, the shared
page or scene is already open in the Template Editor, a second set of instructions describes
how to add that page or scene to the playlist.
To add a shared page, scene or clip asset to the playlist:
1.
Select the P AGES , S CENES or C LIPS root category in the Asset Browser, and navigate
to the appropriate category where the asset is stored.
The assets contained in the pages, scenes or clips categories are then listed/displayed
in the panel to the right of the Asset Browser.
2. Select the desired asset and drag it into the Playlist Editor.
Notice that a highlighted horizontal line appears in the Playlist Editor as you drag the
pointer over the various rows in the playlist. This line indicates the location of where the
asset will be inserted in the playlist.

A fully extended Insert Line indicates that the asset will be added to the playlist as a primary
event, while a partially extended line indicates that it will be added as a secondary event
(see
“Repositioning primary playlist items (clips, scenes, pages, or comments)” on page
6-17 and “Adding a secondary event to a primary event in a playlist” on page 6-18 for more
information.
3. Drop the asset into the playlist by releasing the mouse button.
To add an opened shared page or scene to the playlist:
1.
With a shared page or scene open in the Template Editor, select the playlist row where
you want the page to be inserted (the page will be inserted below the selected row).
2. Click the S AVE P AGE , I NSERT IN P LAYLIST button located in the Template Editor’s
toolbar.
Any unsaved changes that were made to the page or scene are immediately saved and
the page/scene is added to the playlist below the selected playlist row.
