Using Playlist
The CineCast Playlist feature is used to create, modify, and/or play back a list
of files in the playlist. In order to do this, activate the Playlist GUI by clicking

Creating, Modifying, or Opening a Playlist
The Playlist GUI window (Figure 3-2) is used to create new playlists or modify
existing ones. To create a playlist (.vpl file extension), MPEG files are added to
the list. This is done by clicking and dragging files into the list area of the GUI or
by clicking on the Add button. When the Add button is clicked, an Open File
window will appear (Figure 3-3). Use this window to select the clip file(s) to be
added to the playlist.
To open an existing playlist, click on the Playlist GUI window Browse
button (labeled “…”). This brings up an Open Files dialog window (Fig-
ure 3-4) from which a playlist file can be selected and opened. Please
note that only one playlist file can be opened and played at a time.
Once a playlist file is opened, it can be modified. New clips can be added to it by
clicking on the Add button. Clips can be deleted by clicking on the Delete button.
The order of the playback of the clips can be changed. This is done by clicking
and dragging a clip to a desired position in the list.
