When the Video track of a Playlist with a predefined length is 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 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 Inspector.

Adding Live Input
You can switch to a Live Signal by using the Live Input placeholder element. The default duration is “30” seconds. You can modify the duration in the Inspector. At the end of a Live Event, the next item in the Video layer of your rundown will be played out.

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” the Live Input until you manually dismiss it by clicking on the “Play Next” button, which is an overlay button of the “On AirAir” 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, 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 allows you to edit/add/delete items in the Video track to preserve the start time of a prime-time primetime video.

Depending on the configuration of your channel, either the whole rundown in the future will be rescheduled (like described above) or the 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 but should be scheduled already, a Placeholder element can be used meanwhile. The default length is “30” seconds. You can modify the duration in the Inspector. Placeholder elements must be replaced by Video elements before the Playout reaches the Placeholder's position.

Select the Placeholder.
Go to the Inspector.
In the Name field, enter the name of the Video (including the file extension). Once available, the Video must be placed into one of the root repository folders (not into a subfolder) defined for the Channel.
Once available, go to the “File” menu and use the Refresh Playlist command (“Command-R”) to link the Placeholder with the Video and to reflect the change in the just:play user interface. This refresh of Placeholder elements is also done automatically every 30 seconds, and the rundown will be automatically rescheduled based on the actual time of the videorefresh of Placeholder elements is also done automatically every 60 seconds, and the rundown will be automatically rescheduled based on the actual time of the Video.

The check if a new video became available, and the automated replacement of the Placeholder, is done by Just Connect. Therefore make sure, that the playout volume is mounted correctly on the machine running Just Connect. Otherwise a scheduled Placeholder will not be replaced automatically, even the correct video is available. |

In case the length of the Video does not match the length defined for the Placeholder clip, a warning will be shown which informs you that the start time of the following Videos will be adjusted. Clicking on the the “OK” button adds the Video to the rundown and automatically adjusts the start time of the following items up to the next timed Playlist. Clicking “Cancel” will take you back to the unchanged, previous state.
