AUTOPLAY
The Autoplay switch has several important effects. First, it automatically initiates playback when the associated
Media Player is placed on Program Out by a Switcher operation (or by displaying the Media Player in a DSK
channel or Virtual Input). The reverse transition occurs automatically as the end of play approaches. (In similar
fashion, for a media player with Autoplay enabled, performing an Overlay Effect automatically begins playback.)
Note: The reverse Overlay Transitions do not occur automatically as the end of play approaches.
Finally, if the media player is in Single mode, the play position advances to the next playlist item when playback
stops.
3.5.2 SPEED
The DDR provides a Speed control, which supports playback at speeds from 25% to 400%
(certain compressed video formats cannot successfully be played back faster than 200%).
Figure 46
Speed can even be adjusted during playback. Drag left or right to adjust the Speed value, or
click the slider to type a new value using the keyboard.
Hint: Press Shift while double-clicking Speed to quickly reset to the 100% default.
3.5.3 ADD (THE MEDIA BROWSER)
Click Add or double-click in an empty part of the
Playlist pane to open the Media Browser.
This tool is available anywhere in the Live Desktop
that you can select content, transitions or effects. The
Media Browser layout is comprised of left and right
panes we'll refer to as the Location List and File Pane
respectively.
Hint: To jump to the system file explorer (rather than
the custom Media Browser) from a Media Player, hold
keyboard Shift while clicking the Add button.
LOCATION LIST
The Location List (at left) is a column of favorite "locations", grouped under headings such as Clips, Titles, Stills,
and so on. (The Media Browser is context sensitive, so the headings shown are appropriate for the current task.)
