Using Playlists
AJA provides tools for reviewing clips and creating playlists of clips. These clip playlists
can be managed on the web browser Playlists screen, which includes a default All Clips
playlist showing all clips on the Ki Pro Rack unit.
Ki Pro Rack 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 this 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.
Working with the All
Clips Playlist
The default state of the Playlists is to list All Clips available. All Clips represents all of the
recordings made on the Ki Pro Rack or valid files transferred to the Ki Pro Rack.

You can cue up a clip quickly for review by simply double-clicking the clip in the list.
Note that once you've double-clicked a clip to select it, it will be highlighted in blue in
the list and the first frame of video from that clip will appear on the output of the Ki Pro
Rack. To play back the clip, simply open the Transport page of the web UI and begin
playback with the Play button. You can even quickly scan material by setting the
Media>Play Media>All selection so that as you highlight clips for review, they will
continue playing out of the Ki Pro Rack outputs.
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.
