18. Enable the DDR’s Autoplay switch.
19. Play the first clip in the DDR again.
This time, just as the clip approaches its end, the Switcher automatically performs a
transition. (That is, the sources on Program and Preview are automatically swapped,
leaving Camera 1 on Program Output ).
20. After a few moments, click either Take or Transition in the Switcher’s Transition
section.
Notice that a transition is performed (returning the DDR from Preview to Program ) and,
more importantly, the next item in the playlist begins to play automatically -- right on
time. When it ends, another automatic transition occurs, restoring Camera 1 to
Program Output .
Let’s try Autoplay without Single mode:
21. Click Stop (if necessary).
22. Uncheck Single , leaving Autoplay engaged.
23. Highlight a fairly long clip (say, a minute or more) in the DDR on Program , and Camera 1
on Preview .
24. Click Play .
25. After a few seconds, perform a Take and watch what happens:
i. Naturally, the DDR and Camera 1 are swapped on the Switcher .
ii. DDR playback is stopped at the current frame of the current clip.
26. Perform another Take
i. As expected, the DDR is restored to Program Output .
ii. DDR playback re-commences at the next frame of the current clip – the DDR
did not automatically jump ahead to the next clip this time.
