  • Sorting Order: Changes the sorting order (from A...Z or from Z...A) of the selected tab.
  • Open/Close Preview: Shows or hides the preview area. 
  • Refresh: Refreshes the content of the Library. This is useful in all situations where the content of the Library is not updated automatically. This can be the case because your disk storage does not support file system events or in situations where the metadata sidecar file is not generated correctly. In this case, pressing the refresh button only writes new sidecar files, but does not overwrite already existing sidecar XMLs.

  • When no Metadata is shown the element cannot be added to the rundown. Usually this is because the frame rate of the Video does not match the frame rate of the playout format selected in just:connect.

Info
  • When dragging a video from the library into the workbench, the "active play" area marked in QuickTime Player is used to automatically set the video's in- and out-point.
  • Defining a new in/out-point and/or poster frame will write this information to the metadata XML sidecar file which has the same name as the video file. The sidecar files are stored in the same repository as the respective video files.
