16. Double-click the first clip in the DDR playlist to play it (double-clicking is another way to
engage Play). With Single mode engaged, playback automatically stops at the end of the
current clip.
17. Select Camera 1 on the Switcher’s Preview row (the DDR is already selected on the
Program row).
18. Enable the Autoplay switch for the DDR.
19. Play the first clip in the playlist again. This time, just as the clip approaches its end, the
Switcher automatically performs a transition (the sources on Program and Preview are
automatically swapped), leaving Camera 1 on Program output.
20. After a few moments, click either Take or Transition in the Switcher’s Transition section.
Notice that a transition is performed (returning the DDR from Preview to Program) and, more
importantly, the next item in the playlist begins to play automatically -- right on time. When it
ends, another automatic transition occurs, restoring Camera 1 to Program output.
Let’s try Autoplay without Single mode:
21. Click Stop (if necessary).
22. Uncheck Single, leaving Autoplay engaged.
23. With the DDR selected on Program, and Camera 1 on Preview, highlight a fairly long clip
(say, a minute or more).
24. Click Play.
25. After a few seconds, perform a Take and watch what happens:
a. Naturally, the DDR and Camera 1 are swapped on the Switcher.
b. DDR playback is stopped at the current frame of the current clip.
26. Perform another Take
a. As expected, the DDR is restored to Program output.
