A Timeline is a PLAYLIST. When you complete a timeline, and save it, it becomes a
PLAYLIST that you can include in a schedule, or can simply play by clicking the blue play
arrow at the top of the GUI.
It is important to remember that content by itself can't be scheduled to play. It must be part of a
PLAYLIST to be activated by a schedule.
This simple timeline we've created so far is really enough to get on air...yes, it's overly simple
and doesn't have a message, but it is indeed a timeline playlist that could be saved, sent, and
played.
Of course though, there's much more sophistication we can utilize. You can drag up to 9-hours
worth of media per timeline—or nothing at all.
PAGE ATTRIBUTES
As you may notice, when we dragged the media onto the timeline, the text portion of the
information flag became not much more than a sliver of useless information. This occurs
because the size of the information flag and thumbnail itself is relative to the time the page is set
to dwell. By default, anything dragged to the timeline defaults to a dwell time of 10-seconds.
We can change that, as well as set a few other attributes. For tutorial sake, we will go ahead and
drag a second media file to the Page Layer.
