Changing Event Settings
Profile PRO Series 269
Duration - The duration of the playback event is set by the duration of the
media. If you change the duration to one shorter than the media’s duration, List
Manager will play the material from the mark in point for the specified
duration. If you enter a longer duration, List Manager plays the material from
the mark in point to the last mark out point, then freezes on the last frame for
the rest of the duration.
Comment
- The Comment cell displays the name of the master or clip which
you dragged into the window. You can change this to a title more meaningful
to you. However, this will not change what clip or master is used, nor will it
change its name.
Optional Columns
These are the columns that you can add to the window to provide you with
additional event information.
Action - When you drag material into the List Manager window, Action is set
to Play. The possible actions are: Play, Record, Switch, Transfer, and Archive.
These options are described in later in this chapter.
Event Number -
Events are numbered as they are added to the current list.
The event number can’t be changed because it provides a unique identifier for
this event in the current list. The event number does not determine the playback
order.
Parent - This setting uses the number of the event that precedes it, the “parent”
event, and is valid only for Follow events. Any event can be a parent event as
long as it has a Follow event after it.
Type -
The event types are:
• The Absolute event type plays the material at the time specified in the Start
Time. An Absolute event is always displayed in bold face in the list.
• The Follow event type plays the event immediately after the preceding event
in the list. A Follow event is always displayed in regular face in the list.
• The Approx event type is queued but will not play unless you select the event
from the list and then issue a Take command. An Approx event is always
displayed in bold face in the list.
Date
-
Enter the date on which you wish the event to take place. Dates must be
in the format used in your current Windows NT session, usually
MM/DD/YYYY. The current date is entered by default.
