Preview / Program:
PlaybackPro is designed on a Preview/Program paradigm, similar to a production switcher.
Program is what’s going to the output, and Preview is what will play next. Preview is
always in blue. Program is always in red.
When a clip is selected from the playlist, it is shown in Preview. Preview is used to set up
levels, fades,, in/out points and geometry, as well as for modifying the order of the
Playlist.... and allows you to select the next clip to send to the output (Program). When a
clip in Program ends, whatever is in Preview will be Taken automatically (roll-through).
When a clip is Taken from Preview, it moves to Program and plays to the output with any
attributes that you’ve set (In/Out Points, fades, geometry, levels, etc). Clips are shown in
Program exactly as they appear on the external output.
There are counters over Preview and Program for reference and easy count-outs. The green
counter shows the time elapsed relative to the In Point. The red counter shows the time
remaining relative to the Out Point.
The aspect ratio of the output is reflected in the Preview and Program sections.
