Creating and using rundowns and segments
An overview of the Segment Editor & Segment Window
Xbuilder offers two interfaces for creating and editing rundown segments: the Segment Editor
and the Segment window.
•
The S EGMENT E DITOR (figure 7-2 ) is joined to the Rundown Editor and it allows you to:
• Create and populate new rundown segments with pages and playlists.
• Add the segments to the rundown that is open in the Rundown Editor.
• Save the segment as shared segment (using the S
AVE A S button) or as an
embedded segment (using the S AVE button).
• View, add, edit, or remove pages, scene or clips belonging to the segment
highlighted in the Rundown window.
Figure 7-2. The Rundown Window and the Segment Editor
The S EGMENT WINDOW (figure 7-3 ) is a standalone interface (meaning that it is not
associated with a specific rundown) that allows you to create and populate new shared
rundown segments with pages, scenes, clips and playlists.
Figure 7-3. The Segment window is a stand-alone interface for creating and editing shared segments
Figure 7-3 and the following list identify and describe the main interface components
1. TOOLBAR : A series of buttons that allows you to perform actions related to creating,
saving, and populating segments. See “Segment Editor toolbar” on page 8-17 for a
description of each button on the toolbar.
2. S EGMENT : A list of the pages, scenes and clips that make up the content of the segment.
Each page, scene, or clip has a dedicated row in the Segment Editor/window, which
determines their intended playout order. See
“Adding pages to a rundown segment” on page
7-11 and “Repositioning pages within the rundown segment” on page 7-15 for more
information.
Like playlists, the columns display information about each item included in the rundown
segment. Xbuilder allows you to determine which columns are displayed or hidden in
the Segment Editor/window by using the C
OLUMN L AYOUT dialog box. See “Configuring
the Playlist table columns” on page 6-11 for instructions on how to display or hide
certain columns.
