7.8 Adding A Gap To A Playlist (v2.0)

Usually broadcasters try to avoid gaps in the rundown. But it is possible that there are situations where a gap is required, for example to adjust the start time of a certain movie. The default length of such an item is one second and can be modified using the inspector. There are several ways to add a GAP element to a schedule.

GAP elements can be added to a schedule using the Video track by drag and drop them into:

…an empty area in the calendar view. In this case, a playlist with the proper duration is automatically created with the elements you have dropped in it.
…an existing playlist in the calendar view. The element(s) will be added at the end of the playlist.
…an existing playlist in the workbench. Before dropping the element(s), its position is indicated by a small turquoise bar which appears between existing elements.
…a playlist in the timeline. Before dropping the element(s), its position is indicated by a small blue bar which appears between existing elements.

It is not possible to add a GAP element to the rundown whose drop point is in the past. This would change the current playout and will therefore be rejected. A warning will be shown instead.
