Working with Playlists

Clearing Playlists

This topic contains information on how to clear Playlists.

Before being allowed to clear, you must unload any Playlist on the channel by clicking the Stop

button or pressing the E key.

To clear Playlists:

1. Click the Playlist Name pull-down menu, and select Clear.

The Clear Playlist dialog box opens.

2. Click OK.

The Playlist will be cleared from the channel. If the Playlist was previously saved, the file

will still remain in the location it was previously saved to.

Taking Control of a Playlist for a Channel

This topic contains information on how to take control of Playlists for a given channel. When

you take control of a Playlist for a channel, it means that only you can make changes to the

Playlist.

Users at another Avid AirSpeed 5000 Remote Console will see a Lock icon next to the Playlist

Name pull-down menu that indicates that this Playlist is locked and in use by someone else. They

will not be able to modify, cue, or play (if a clip is not already precued) any clips within the

Playlist.

To take control of a Playlist for a channel:

1. Click the Playlist Name pulldown menu for a channel that you want to take control of, and

select Take Control.

You now have sole control of this channel. Users at another Avid AirSpeed 5000 Remote

Console will see a Lock icon next to the Playlist Name pull-down menu that indicates that

this Playlist is locked and in use by someone else.

2. Once you have control of the Playlist, you can work with clips within the Playlist. For more

information, see “Working with Clips in the Playlist” on page 76.

Another user can take control of the Playlist at any time.
