• Text Encoding: Select the appropriate encoding. You may select from ASCII, Japanese EUC, UTF-8, ISO Latin 1 (ISO/IEC 8859-1), ISO Latin 2 (ISO/IEC 8859-2), Shift JIS, UFT-16 (Unicode), Windows Cyrillic, Windows Latin 1, Windows Latin 2, Windows Greek, Windows Turkish, ISO 2022 Japanese and Mac OS Roman encoding.

• Delimiter: Select the delimiter.

• Quoted Strings: Enable this option if the content of the imported Playlist is in quotes.

• Full Path: Only one column of data is required which contains the complete path and filename of the clip to play.

• Path Only/Filename Only Column: 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".

• Column Settings: If there are additional fields in the imported data, you can define if these columns should be used as labels for the contents of the just:play Workbench.

• Duration Column:If the length of the Videos is already available, a column with the duration of the Videos can be added to the text file and selected here.

• Ignore First Row: Enable this option if the first row of data specifies the names of the columns of data rather than actual data.

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.
