position, the end time will snap back to 45 minutes beyond the current end
time since that is the closest full 15-minute increment.
If the component length is reduced by dragging, the component end time
will also snap to the nearest full 15-minute increment.
For duration
Plays the component until the end of the one-day schedule or wherever the
end point is set based on dragging the component lower object border.
Note The exact end time is based on the time scale increment. The end time border
snaps to the nearest increment (up to the end of the playlist) when the mouse
button is released.
Adjust Playlist Length
To avoid playing black at the end of the last component (unless that is desir-
able), either the length of components need to be adjusted to match the
length of the playlist, or the playlist needs to be adjusted to match the
length of the components.
Figure 289 shows a playlist in which the length of the components in each
region does not match up with the end of the playlist.
The playlist length is 00:05:30 and the material in the shortest column (Still/
Flash) ends at 00:04:15.
Figure 289. Playlist Length Longer Than Components
To adjust the playlist length, do the following:
1. In the Playlist Details Area, enter a new playlist length as illustrated in
Figure 290.
In this example, we’ll use the length of the shortest column (00:04:15).
