Notes
When the Video track of a Playlist with a predefined length is being filled with elements, the remaining Gap to the end of the current Playlist will be displayed.
The duration of a Gap between two Playlists is shown in the Workbench.
When the Video track of an Auto Duration Playlist is being filled with elements, the length of the Playlist will be automatically adjusted.
In addition to drag and drop, it is also possible to add elements via double click. Select an element in the Workbench and double-click the element in the Library you would like to add to your rundown. This will add it be added below the selected element. This also works with multiple elements, but not with folders. Double-clicking a folder in the Library will open/close the folder, but not add the elements to the rundown.

Adding Gaps
Usually, broadcasters try to avoid Gaps in the rundown, but there are situations where a Gap is required, for example, to adjust the start time of a certain Video. The default length of a Gap element is one second. You can modify the duration in the Inspectorthe Inspector.

Infinite Live Event
Each Live Input element has an Infinite Length option which can be enabled in the Inspector. When enabled, the clip has a pre-determined duration and an end time in the schedule, but when this time is reached the Live Input does not end automatically. Instead, the Just Out playout engine "holds" “holds” the Live Input until you manually dismiss it by clicking on the “Play NextNext” button, which is an overlay button of the On Air window in just:play.
...
Whilst being held, any other items excluding the currently playing Graphic elements but including all Video or Graphic items in the same Playlist (or any following Playlists) are also held. They will appear to wait at the CTI line displayed in just:play. Once dismissed, just:out the Just Out engine will calculate the difference between the pre-defined scheduled duration of the Live Input and the actual time played out. The following items will be rescheduled to compensate for this difference.
...
If the Live Input has been on air longer than planned, any following items and Playlists will be rescheduled for a later start time.
If the Live Input has been on air shorter than planned, any following items and Playlists will be rescheduled for an earlier start time.
For an easy way to refine your rundown, use the Sync Point feature. This will allow allows you to edit/add/delete items in the Video track to preserve the start time of a prime-time clipvideo.
| Info |
|---|
Depending on the configuration of your channel, either the whole rundown in the future will be rescheduled (like described above) or the playout Playout will resume at the time (join in progress) it would have been without the extended on air time of the Live Input. Please contact your system administrator to find out which option is activated on your system. |

In case a Video is not ready for playout Playout but should be scheduled already, a Placeholder element can be used meanwhile. The default length is 30 “30” seconds.
