The workbench shows the rundown of your clips playing from top to bottom, one clip after the other.

Item markup depending on the UI mode

If the user interface is in Master Time Mode, the Workbench shows the current status of the play out.

If you are in "Edit Mode" the workbench "simulates" the clips' states according to the CTI position. These are not the clips' states of the real playout. Remember that only those elements which are loaded in the layer selected in the timeline will be shown here.

Grayed-out Item

All items where the out-point is in the past of the CTI are grayed out to show that they have been played out already. Also the next movie going on air is grayed out, once it has been loaded into the buffer. Such items cannot be changed or removed any more.

On-Air Item

The name of the item which is currently on air is shown in green.

Scheduled Item(s)

All items where the in-point has not started are shown in white. The item itself and all attributes can be changed.

Placeholder, Gap and Live Event Item(s)

There are 3 elements available in the Library, which are not related to any real media but can be scheduled like such.

  • Placeholders are shown in red
  • Gaps are shown in black
  • Live events in magenta.

Selected Item(s)

Selected items are highlighted in blue. To select an item:

  • click on the item to select it
  • shift-click to select a range
  • cmd-click an element to invert the selection

Multi select the same kind of element, to change the shared attributes of all elements at once.

→ Use the sidebar to navigate.
