LAYLIST

Several kinds of elements can be added to a playlist, which are: clips, trains, bins,
playlists and growing clips. Depending on the element to be added, different
methods can be used to add it to the playlist:

by dragging the element(s) to the requested position in the playlist,

by using the APPEND CLIP button,

by sending the element to the default playlist.

Some limitations exist for the drag-and-drop operations and for the insertion of a
train. Refer to the chapter on ‘Playlist Panel’ in part 6 of the manual for more
information.
In the drag-and-drop operation, the black thick line indicates the position where
the element will be dropped.

There are nevertheless several places in IPDirector where you can select the
element(s) that you will drag into the playlist:

from the Loaded Media drop-down list in the Channel Media Pane in a Control

Panel.
