studio set or any other background, or a bug can be shown in the front layer
while a lower third is shown in the middle layer. This column is presented by
default.

Figure 81: Video transfer, Playlist.
• Mark In: Sets mark in times for video clips.
• Mark Out: Sets mark out times for video clips.
• Postroll: Sets postroll for video clips. When a video clip is played, the time
and remaining time are shown in the TC Monitor. The remaining time; zero
at clip-end if postroll is set to 0. Normally it is desirable with a few seconds
of postroll so that the vision mixer can cut to another source without risking
displaying a freeze frame. With a postroll of 3, the countdown/remaining
time will be zero 3 seconds before clip end and count from zero and
downwards for three seconds.
• Available: Displays the status of external resources needed by the Viz
Engine (e.g. transferred video, and if it is avaiable on the video playout
engines). This column was previously named Progress.
• Index: Sets an index number for each row in the playlist. This number will
always be sorted either ascending (lowest to highest). If a row is moved or
deleted the index changes accordingly.
• Auto Width: When enabled (selected), Auto Width expands the columns and
distributes them evenly.
