Saving a list as a program

Playlists can be saved as a program so that they can be managed as a single clip. This saves the events in the list, but nothing that breaks the flow of playout such as pauses or effects between events or sections. Saving a list does not consume media storage space since the program merely references the source clip media that is already stored in the media file system. If the source clips are deleted, the media referenced by the program is preserved.

You can insert programs into other playlists, or load and play them using the standard Player application. In Player application, you can edit the program mark-in and mark-out points providing the source clips referenced by the program have not been deleted. If that is the case, 1 second of media is preserved before and after the program mark-in and mark-out allowing some trimming.

  1. Load the playlist in the Playlist application.
  2. Select Playlist | Save As Program.
  3. Use the Save In control to change the current bin if required.
  4. Select the Program Name text entry control to change the program name, then click OK.
    Note: Make sure you do not violate asset naming limitations.

The list is saved as a program in the current bin.
