Adding Elements in a Fill or a Key Playlist
Adding an element by drag-and-drop operation into a Fill (or Key) playlist can be
done in the same way as for adding a Normal element into a Normal playlist. Refer
to section ‘How to Insert an Element by a Drag-and-Drop Operation Into the
Playlist Grid’ on page 44.
However, the system will behave differently depending on the type of the element
added and the type of the playlist. The table below summarizes the actions
resulting from the insertion of an element into a playlist:
Playlist Type Element

Normal 1. Element inserted in Fill PL.
2. Black or white element of
exact same duration inserted in
corresponding Key PL: warning
message displayed.

a Key element into a Key PL.

Key element:

a Key playlist. You should insert the Fill clip into the fill playlist to avoid
any confusion.
