TIMELINES & PLAYLISTS
The TIMELINE is where you build your Playlists. A Playlist is nothing more than a playout
order of your content. The Timeline is "filled" by dragging and dropping media from the clip
board.
The Media POD is a multi-layer device, and therefore features multiple timelines.
Each timeline is specific to the type of content that is allowed in that layer. Each layer has its
own unique set of attributes and functions. We will cover each, but first let's look at the Page
Layer.
The Page Layer is the most fundamental layer of a CG. This is where you drag your content or
media that is created in the CG window, or in Photoshop©, or in PowerPoint©, or Flash©,
Premier©, Vegas Video©...well, you get the idea...this is the basic building block and the base
layer of a CG.
Drag and drop media to your pages layer by
using your mouse and left clicking on the image
thumbnail in the Clip board. (Note: You must
click on the THUMBNAIL, not the text box, and
you must hold your left mouse button down while
you drag).
"Drag" the piece of content by its thumbnail from
the Clip board down to the Timeline, and "Drop"
it on any open space on the Page Layer Timeline
by releasing your left mouse button.
