  1. Standard Attributes
    • Name: Name of the selected item.
    • Start: Start time of the selected item.
    • In/Out Point: Sets the in/out-point of a Video.
    • Duration: Shows the duration of the selected item depending on the defined in/out-point.
  2. Color/Automation
  3. Video
    • Fade In/Out: Videos can fade-in/out up to 10 seconds from and to black.
    • Interlaced: Select an interlacing mode here.
    • Invert Fields: Inverts fields. This can also be changed during playout of the selected Video and will be executed immediately (depending on the Video buffer your system administrator set in the just:out preferences).
    • Aspect Conversion: Defines how to handle the aspect ratio of the selected Video. Your system administrator should have already predefined a setting in the just:out preferences. Several options are available depending on the direction of the conversion. For a visual description please refer to the chapter Aspect Ratio Control. It is possible to change the aspect ratio while a Video is on air. The change will be visible after six frames or up to three seconds later, depending on the buffer defined in just:out. Ask your system administrator for more information regarding the buffer.
  4. Audio
    • Fade With Video: When enabled the Audio will automatically fade with the Video's fade-in/out settings.
    • Volume: Allows you to adjust the volume of a Video with a value between 0 (muted) and 1 (full volume). The volume can be changed while a Video is on air and the change will be taken over immediately once the mouse button has been released.
    • Live Volume: This is the volume of the live input. By default the the Live Volume is set to 0 (muted).
  5. Infinite Layer Control: Your system administrator may have set up this channel to show one or several Graphics templates automatically all the time and this option allows you to enable or disable the infinite Graphics for the selected Element(s). The name of the layer has been defined by the system administrator in just:connect.
  6. Sync Point: Allows you to set a desired start time where the difference to the real start time is then displayed in the control area. This is useful in case you have a "prime time clip" which should start as accurately as possible, but you have one or several events during the day where you need the Jump to Next Clip function. Define the sync point here and every time you change something in the rundown, the offset of the wish start time and the real start time will be updated and shown right above the timecode.

  1. Standard Attributes
    • Name: Here you can define the name of the selected Playlist.
    • Start: While placing a Playlist in the calendar view the start time is automatically defined. Change the start time here if needed. This option is greyed out if the start time is already in the past or defined automatically because the type of the Playlist is not "timed" but "chained".
    • Duration: Here you can define the length of the selected Playlist. This option is greyed out if the length is defined automatically due to the fact that the "Auto Duration" feature is enabled for this Playlist.
    • Loop: Define if a Playlist should be looped. Once the number of loops is defined you have to come back and change the setting here if you need more or less loops. In addition – when the content has been played once – you cannot change the content of the Playlist anymore. To make changes again, reduce the number of Playlists and copy and paste the Playlists instead of looping them.
    • Type: With this setting you can define if the Playlist starts at the predefined time ("timed") or if it automatically gets its start time from the actual end of the previous Playlist ("chained"). Activating the type "chained" guarantees that there is no gap between this Playlist and the previous Playlist (see chapter "Playlist Chaining").
    • Auto Duration: This attribute sets the length of the Playlist automatically to the total length of all Videos/live clips within that Playlist and is automatically enabled if there is a live clip which has the "infinite" option turned on. Inserting or removing clips from the Playlist with this option enabled will increase or decrease the length of the Playlist, as well as the start times of any following chained Playlists. This option is not available for empty Playlists. Enabling this feature makes sure that there is no gap at the end of the respective Playlist.
    • Locked: This attribute allows to lock the content and the start time of a Playlist. This means that none of the attributes of all Elements within that Playlist can be changed and that pressing the jump to next button in a previous playlist will not change the start time. Please keep in mind that locked Playlists can not be refreshed. See here for more informations about refreshing of Playlists: Refreshing A Playlist
    • Allow Resync: Your system administrator may have set up this channel to resync the master time to the reference time automatically. When enabled, frames will be added/deleted at the end of each Playlist (if required). For some kind of Playlists (commercial breaks) you may want to make sure that every frame is played out. Deactivate this option to disable the resync function for the selected Playlist.
    • Color: Allows you to set a color for the selected Playlist.
    • Shuffle Playlist: Press this button to shuffle the content of the Video layer of this Playlist. It is possible to use this function multiple times, the result will always be visible immediately in the workbench.
  2. Infinite Layer Control: Your system administrator may have set up this channel to show one or several Graphics automatically all the time. For some kind of Playlists (commercial breaks) or for a single Element in the Video layer you may want to disable such a Graphic Element. Activate this option to disable the infinite Graphic Element for the selected Playlist.
