To Play a Clip
Clips can play automatically once loaded, loop, or play
at faster or slower speeds.
Note:
If the Auto Play feature is enabled (Channel Transport
> Enable Auto Play), a clip will start to play as soon as it is
loaded into a channel. This feature applies to all channels and
cannot be turned on or off for a particular channel transport.

channel transport you want to play it out on.

after the current point in the clip. You can press Ctrl+' to

clip.

Clip Repeat Modes (Looping)
There are a number of ways to have a clip continuously
loop when playing out. These modes can be set in the
metadata of a clip so that the clip always loads in this
mode. They can also be set manually from the channel
transport controls, or they can be set remotely from an
external device.
Only one play repeat mode can be active at a time.
Tip:
Repeat modes use Play Repeat IN and Play Repeat OUT
points to determine what video to repeat. The default values for
these points are stored in the metadata of the clip.
Normal (Off)
This is the normal play mode (
) where the clip plays
to the end and stops. This mode is automatically set if
you are controlling the channel transport from an external
device, such as a switcher.
Loop
The repeat mode (
) where the clip starts playing again
from the in point again after it reaches the out point.
When the clip starts playing, it immediately seeks to the
Play Repeat IN
point and plays until it reaches the
Play
Repeat OUT
point. When it reaches the
Play Repeat
OUT
point it seeks back to the
Play Repeat IN
point
and plays again. The clip will continue to play like this
until stopped.
Ping-Pong
The repeat mode (
) where the clip plays back and
forth between the in and out points. When the clip starts
playing, it immediately seeks to the
Play Repeat IN
point and plays until it reaches the
Play Repeat OUT
point. When it reaches the
Play Repeat OUT
point it
starts playing in reverse until it reaches the
Play Repeat
IN
point again. The clip will continue to play like this
until stopped.
Loop to Play
The Multipoint (3-Point Loop) repeat mode (
)
where the clip can start playing from a point before the
in point but starts playing again from the in point when
it reaches the out point. The clip starts playing from the
beginning passing through the
Play Repeat IN
point
and continues playing until it reaches the
Play Repeat
OUT
point. When it reaches the
Play Repeat OUT
point it seeks back to the
Play Repeat IN
point and
plays again. The clip will continue to play like this until
stopped.
