5.3 Timeline (Detail) (v2.0)

Here are some details how the Timeline works.

 Current Time Indicator (CTI): Indicates the current position. While watching the current playout position ("Master Time Mode") the CTI is always green. In "Edit Mode" you will see the green CTI representing the real playout position and the brighter CTI representing the current preview position corresponding to the color of the timecode. Please see the chapter 4. Working With just:play v2.0 Channels for more informations.

 Playlist Name: The name of a playlist, which can be changed in the inspector.

 Movie / Placeholder Element: Movie and placeholder elements are represented by grey bars (or slices, depending on the timeline scale) in the "Video"-layer.

 Graphic Item: Graphic items are represented by small grey bars (or slices, depending on the timeline scale). Such item can be placed onto the available FX Layers.

 Stopframe Triangle: Graphic items can contain stopframes. They are represented by grey triangles. Changing the duration of a graphic item automatically changes the time it takes to release a stopframe.

 Router Control/GPI Events: Router and GPI events are represented by yellow triangles.

 Gap between Movies: Gaps are those parts of the rundown where the playout will go to black because there are no ele­ments scheduled. This is something which usually should be avoided and therefore it is not possible to have a gap between two movies scheduled in the video track of the same playlist. In case there is a need for a gap between movies in the same playlist, it is possible to create one by using the "Gap" placeholder item.

 Selected Item: A selected item is highlighted in blue (same for the workbench as seen later). Selecting allows you to modify the item in the inspector. Double clicking an item moves the "Edit Mode" CTI to the beginning of the item and allows you to modify some parameters directly in the timeline.

 Gap at the End of a Playlist: It is possible that there is a gap at the end of a playlist. You can avoid such situations by activating the "Auto Duration" attribute of a playlist, which will automatically adjust the length of the playlist depending on the content.

 Live Event Item: There is a "Live Event" item in the "Video" tab which allows you to switch to a live incoming signal. It can be used like a movie using a fixed length or with an infinite Length, which is represented by a purple bracket.
