There are several ways to control the playout of an element.
Loading an Element
The most common way is to load an element into the Timeline and then pressing the Play button in the Workbench or the Timeline after that.
Loading and Playing an Element instantly
In case there is currently no element loaded on the particular layer, the Load and Play function can be executed.
- Make sure the destination Layer of the element is empty.
- Select the element in the Workbench.
- Press and release the alt-key to load and play the element.
Workbench Double-Click Actions
It it possible to define a Workbench Double-Click Action in the Preferences of just:live. By default this functionality is disabled, but you can choose from one of the following options:
- None
- Load
- Load and Cue
- Load and Play
Refer to chapter 3. just:live User Interface Overview & Preferences.
Only Videos can be cued, so in case Load and Cue is used as the default action, the cue will be ignored for non Video elements.
Executing Actions on Multiple Layers
It is possible to execute actions on multiple layers at the same time by holding the command-key while clicking the first element of each layer. When issuing the Play command it will then be issued to all selected layers.
