just:play allows you to import plain text Playlists in any standard delimited format such as comma separated values (CSV), tab, colon, semicolon or pipe ("|") separated values.

Importing a Plain Text Playlist

  1. Go to the menu File → Import Text (CSV) Playlist.
  2. The Import Dialog shows up.

Click Import. A Playlist with the appropriate content will be saved in the Playlist repository folder. If any of the clips in the Playlist are not found during the import they are listed in the Import Log.

  • To import a just:out As-Run Log you must select UTF-8. Do not select ASCII.
  • When using Apple's TextEdit to build the Playlist, make sure the text file is saved in plain text (menu FormatMake Plain Text).


Within the text file one or more columns of data may be defined and these columns can be mapped to Full Path, Path Only and File Only when importing.

  • Full Path: Only one column of data is required which contains the complete path and filename of the clip to play.
  • Path Only/File Only: Two columns of data are required where the first defines the path and the second defines the filename of the clip. Together these define the full path of the clip to playout, such as "/Volumes/…/" and "Example.mov" to give the full path "/Volumes/…/Example.mov".
