This arrangement offers easily visible thumbnail icons for each entry. A scrollbar at
right accommodates long playlists when necessary.
Icons in the playlist can quickly and easily be re-
ordered using the familiar drag and drop workflow.
The playlist can even be altered during playback (of
course, if the currently playing item is removed,
playback stops immediately).
The filename (with extension) of each item in the
current playlist is displayed above the thumbnails,
and its duration is shown below.
Hint: The duration is the play time after trimming, and thus may be less than the file
length on disk. In such cases, the In and Out markers on the Scrub Bar (spanning the
width of the playlist immediately below it) show the effect of trimming operations, while
the full width of the Scrub Bar depicts the total length of the file on disk.
Clicking an item selects it. The play position is automatically set to the In Point on
selection. Standard Shift + click and Ctrl + click multi-selection operations are
supported, and all selected items are denoted by a white border around their icon.
When a Media Player is stopped, its output to video monitors tracks selection and
trimming operations. The current item is the Media Player’s output, and in
consequence appears on monitors dedicated to the player, if any.
Of course, only one item can be displayed on output at a time; the frame
surrounding the thumbnail icon for the currently displayed item is illuminated.
Double-clicking a thumbnail (or clicking the Play button) begins playback from the
In Point of the current file.
Hint: Double-clicking elsewhere in the playlist pane opens the Media Browser (hold down
shift when clicking to open a system file explorer instead of the custom Media Browser).
Note that even still images and static title pages added to the playlist are given a
play duration. The default duration for these items is fifteen seconds. This duration
can be adjusted on an item by item basis (or as noted earlier, en masse for multi-
selected stills or title pages).
