If a shotlist is not open, the send to playback operation uses the target resolution that is set at the
database root. If this resolution is not what you want to use for the source, you need to create or
open a shotlist in a folder that has the desired settings.
To make it easier to select target resolution settings to use when sending a Source to playback,
you can create a set of template shotlists and folders, each in a folder that has been set with the
target resolutions. You can then do one or both of the following:
• Create shortcuts to the folders
• Create the template shotlists with names that are easily searched, for example,
TRES_DNxHD1080, TRES_MPEG50, and so on.
Then, before you send a source to playback, use a shortcut or search to load the appropriate
shotlist.
Setting the Shotlist Start Timecode for Interplay Access and Interplay
Assist
An administrator can set the default starting timecode for shotlists that are created in Interplay
Access or Interplay Assist. The default starting timecode for shotlists is 01;00;00;00 (drop
frame) or 01:00:00:00 (non-drop frame). For example, you can use this setting to change the
starting timecode hour from 01 to 00.
This setting applies to the entire database only. You cannot set it for individual folders.
Interplay Access and Interplay Assist determine the format of the timecode differently:
• For Interplay Access, the timecode format is determined by the first clip in the shotlist. You
cannot mix drop-frame and non-drop-frame clips in the same shotlist.
• For Interplay Assist, you set the default starting timecode as Drop Frame or Non-Drop
Frame in the Interplay Administrator. If you select Drop Frame, and if the frame rate of the
first clip in the shotlist supports drop-frame timecode (for example, 29.97 fps), the timecode
will be drop-frame. If you select Non-Drop Frame, or the first clip in the shotlist does not
support drop-frame timecode, the default timecode will be non-drop-frame. You can mix
drop-frame and non-drop-frame clips in the same shotlist.
n
Interplay Assist users can change the starting timecode for an individual shotlist by using the
command Edit > Edit Shotlist Start Timecode.
To set the shotlist start timecode:
1. Start Interplay Administrator and log on to the database for which you want to set the
shotlist start timecode.
2. In the Application Settings section of the Interplay Administrator window, click the
Application Database Settings icon.
