Playlists are stored in local media and are found using the files tab of the browser. Select a playlist on the Files tab of the Browser panel (see figure 22, 2). The playlist opens in the Playlist Editor panel for viewing or editing. The name of the currently selected playlist is on the title bar at the top of the Playlist Editor panel (4).

The sequence of the clips in the playlist determines the sequence the clips are played. Clips can be reordered within the playlist using drag and drop.

NOTE: Multiple clips can be selected using the standard <shift> or <control> key combination shortcuts.

To create a new playlist, select the target folder in the stream browser panel and press New Playlist on the Playlist panel.

The playlist path can be changed at any time, but it is more convenient to make a folder selection first. The playlist name (filename) is required. Title and author are optional.

Playlist Properties

The Playlist Properties panel can create a new playlist, add a new clip, stream, or image (Add Track), remove a track (Remove Track), or shorten the playing time of a selected track in the playlist.

To create a new playlist:

1.Select Browser>Files.

2.In the Playlist Editor, click New Playlist to create an empty playlist. New playlists are always created in the current folder of the Browser>Files panel by default, but can be changed by the user as noted above.

3.To add files and clips to the playlist, drag and drop them from the browser to the playlist editor or enter the filepath directly into the URI field of the Playlist Properties panel.
