Saving local playlists

You can save a playlist if you need to re-use it in a later broadcast.

For example, you could create a playlist for a 6 PM broadcast and then modify it for the 10 PM broadcast.

When you are done adding clips, click the Save button on the main toolbar.
Select a location for the playlist and enter a file name.
Click Save.

The playlist is saved with a .pls extension.

To save a playlist with a different name, select File | Save As, enter a new filename, and click Save.

You can also save an NCS rundown as a local playlist. This creates a “snapshot” of the current state of the rundown. If the rundown is then changed on the NCS and you need to revert to the previous version, you can open the local .pls version.
