AUTO-CHAIN
The auto-chain mode makes it possible to play clips one after
the other as they are displayed in the Database Explorer window.
The clips are played without transition effects on the player
channel assigned to the Database Explorer.
The clips can be played from the clip structure, from a bin or
from the result of a search in the Database Explorer.
If play-lists or trains are included in a list of elements on which
the auto-chain mode is applied, they will be skipped.
HOW TO PLAY CLIPS IN AUTO-CHAIN MODE
Before playing clips in auto-chain mode, you need to ensure that
a player channel has been assigned to the Database Explorer.
For more information on this, refer to section 3.7.6 ‘How to
As
sign a Player Channel to the Database Explorer’, on page 114.
T
o start playing clips in auto-chain mode, proceed as follows:
1. In the Database Explorer, open the clip structure or the
bin from where you want to play clips in auto-chain mode.
2. Click the Auto-Chain icon in the Database Explorer menu.
The auto-chain mode is activated and the icon turns
orange.
3. Click the first clip from where you want to play in auto-
chain mode.
The clip is directly played on the player assigned to the
Database Explorer. Then all the subsequent clips displayed in
the Database Explorer window are played in the displayed
sequence until the last clip of the list has been played.
