Creating and using rundown segments
Typically, rundown segments are lists of graphic pages (shared and embedded pages),
scenes, clips and shared playlists that make up a section of a program. The order in which
these items are listed in the rundown segment determines their playout order as well.
The following sections provide instructions for creating new rundown segments and
opening existing rundown segments:
•
“Creating a new rundown segment” on page 7-9
• “Configuring the segment table columns” on page 7-11
• “Adding pages to a rundown segment” on page 7-11
• “Adding scene assets to a rundown segment” on page 7-13
• “Adding clip assets to a rundown segment” on page 7-13
• “Adding a comment row to the rundown segment” on page 7-14
• “Repositioning pages within the rundown segment” on page 7-15
• “Deleting or removing items from a rundown segment” on page 7-16
• “Saving a rundown segment” on page 7-17
Creating a new rundown segment
The introduction to rundowns on page 7-1 explains that rundown segments can either be shared
or embedded. While shared segments can be created and edited in both the Segment Editor
and the Segment window, embedded segments can only be created in the Segment Editor.
The following instructions guide you through the process of creating new rundown
segments from either interface.
To create a new shared segment in the Segment window:
1.
Select the F ILE >N EW S EGMENT command from the Xbuilder toolbar.
The upper portion of the Xbuilder window becomes an empty Segment window (figure 7-6 ).
