Ki Pro Mini media can have both Apple ProRes 422 encoded files and Avid DNxHD
encoded files on the same media. The web UI Playlists, All Clips and user-created playlists,
will denote which Encode Type is used for each clip and the currently selected Encode
Mode is also represented by the clips which appear in white typeface. If clips appear in
yellow, italic typeface, those clips are using the Encode Mode that is not currently
selected. In the above example, the first three clips are encoded as DNxHD 220x files and
the last three clips are encoded as ProRes 422. The selected Encode Mode is ProRes, since
the last three clips appear in white typeface.

Creating a Playlist

In the Playlists portion of the web UI, there is a "+" symbol and a "-" symbol above the
lists. The "+" symbol can be used to add a playlist. Simply click on this symbol and, when
prompted, enter a name for the playlist you wish to create.

Figure 29. Adding a Playlist

To add clips to a playlist, select a blue highlighted clip from the All Clips list and click and
drag the clip onto the name of the playlist you created. Note that when you select a clip
and click and drag it, a filmstrip icon will appear. If you do not see this icon, then you have
not selected a clip. You can tell that a clip will be added to a playlist because the list you
drag the clip to will be highlighted in green and the filmstrip icon will appear with a "+"
symbol on the left side. When you release the mouse, the clip will be added to the
playlist. You may select additional clips using the same method and add them to the
playlist.

To move a number of clips to a playlist at once, use the column with the checkmark and
tick the checkboxes of the clips prior to performing the click and drag to the list.

To review your playlist, click on the list in the Playlists area of the web UI.

Note that if you attempt to add a non-matching encode type clip to a user-created
playlist, an alert prompt will appear. Playlists must contain clips with compatible encode
types. In other words, once a playlist is created and contains an Apple ProRes 422
encoded clip, then all subsequent clips added to that playlist must use the Apple ProRes
422 encoding. If the first clips in the playlist are Avid DNxHD encoded, all subsequent
clips added to that playlist must use the Avid DNxHD encoding.
