Assigning Clips to Channels
If you don’t specify a specific channel for a clip, the system automatically
assigns it to the next available channel. However, you can assign a channel to
any clip. For instance, you may have a small clip that you want to play in
between two longer clips to create a smooth transition.
To assign a clip to a specific channel:
• Right-click on a clip in the playlist and select Assign to “X”.
To change a clip assignment, right-click the clip and select Unassign Clip .
To temporarily override a channel assignment and cue a clip at the same time:
• Drag the clip to the channel you want.
The clip appears in the channel and cues up for play. To remove a clip from
an assigned channel, right-click in the channel window and select
Eject .
If you are using a local playlist (not associated with an ENPS rundown), you
can also let NewsQ Pro reassign the channels for you:
• Select Tools | Auto Reassign Channels .
New channel assignments appear in the Assign column.
You need to configure NewsQ Pro for Hard Channel Assignment to use this
feature. See “Setting Preferences” on page 74 for more information.
Rearranging a Playlist
While you can rearrange clips in the playlist, changing the order from the
original rundown disables the link between NewsQ Pro and the ENPS rundown.
Therefore, you won’t see any subsequent changes made to the ENPS rundown.
If you created a playlist manually, you can rearrange clips as necessary.
Using the toolbar icons or keyboard shortcuts, you can cut ( Ctrl + X ), copy ( Ctrl
+ C ), and paste ( Ctrl + V ) clips in any order in the playlist. You can drag clips
to another position in the playlist.
