Composing a playlist SVG document

1.Right-click in the browsing area and select New Playlist to create a new_playlist.svg file. You can rename it whatever you wish.

2.Open the newly created SVG file. In addition to the XML Tree and WebDAV tabs, the editing panel will open the

Properties and the Playlist tabs.

3.In the Properties tab, you can customize some of settings of the playlist, such as the maximum slide duration, the document size, and the transition between slides.

4.In the Playlist tab, you see the default elements of the playlist. These elements contain some instructions on how to use the SVG document with XPress that you can directly read in the Preview panel.

5.To compose your playlist, simply drag and drop single files or groups of files (any media file: video, images, SVG, etc.) from the browsing area into the Playlist tab. The files will be listed in the Playlist tab.

6.Customize your playlist by changing the order of the files in the Playlist tab and by changing the duration of individual media using the “...” icon. Apply your changes to preview them in the Preview area.

7.Save the final playlist.
