Hint

You can also select the desired external device control command on the Control tab of the Material Management window, then add it using a drag & drop operation.

Modifying or Deleting an External Device Control Event Included in a Playlist

To replace an external device control command with another one, right-click the device control mark to be replaced, and point to [Control (External Device)]. The sub-menu shows a check mark for the external device control command currently included in the event. Select the desired one on the menu.

To delete an external device control command, right-click the device control mark in the Control column, then click [Delete] on the menu.

Undoing the last Operation

Hold the Ctrl key down and press the Z key to cancel the last operation.

Moving and Deleting Events

Moving or Copying Events

A "drag & drop" operation moves the selected playlist events to the desired position, just like when adding the materials to the playlist.

A normal drag & drop operation pastes the event in the dropped position. To insert the event(s) between two events, hold down the Ctrl key and drag & drop them to the event that is immediately below the insertion point.

Also, you can use Ctrl+C (Holding down the Ctrl key and pressing the C key) to copy the selected events to the Windows Clipboard. To paste the events on the Clipboard, specify the position on the playlist and use Ctrl+V.

Note

Text material events cannot be independent events, because a text event cannot play by itself. They can only be pasted to a line where a video and/or graphics event(s) are already assigned. If an independent text event occurs, it appears in red on the playlist. The system does not allow you to save such a playlist.

To select the video, graphics and/or text events having the same event number as a set, click the corresponding Start Time column.

Changing the Material for an Event

Paste the desired material over the event.

The material assigned to the event is overwritten with the newly pasted material.

Deleting Events

Right-click the event to be deleted on the playlist, then click [Delete] on the menu.

Undoing the last Operation

Hold the Ctrl key down and press the Z key to cancel the last operation.

Inserting a Playlist Module

The system enables you to insert a playlist module into the currently edited playlist. All events of the selected playlist module are inserted as a block.
