Lists all Videos which are available for playout on your system. If a Video does not show up in the list but in the Finder, check if the file ends with one of the supported suffixes: mov, mpg, mpeg, mpegts, mp4, m4v, f4v, dv or mxf. Only files with a supported suffix are shown in the Library. Even though just:play displays any avi, mp4, mxf and mov file in the Library, it is possible that a Video does not play out finally because the correct codec to decode the file is not installed on the system. Contact your system administrator for more info. Videos which do not match the output frame rate are highlighted in red and cannot be selected or added to the rundown. Also, you can find the placeholders in the Video tab to switch to the live source, to add a gap to the rundown or to schedule a placeholder item for a Video which is currently not available.

The Library lists all elements which are available (depending on the selected tab) for playout on your system. The Metadata Columns show – depending on the selected tab – more or less metadata. You can rearrange and change the width of the columns by moving the elements in the header area. Metadata elements which are shown in red do not match the current playout format and will be changed automatically once added to the rundown. Red colored aspect ratio information means that the aspect ratio does not match, red colored codec information means that the field order does not match.
