Creating a Playlist
You need to create a playlist before you can play clips to air. There are two
ways to create a playlist: by linking clips to an NCS rundown or by manually
creating a playlist in NewsQ Pro.
Linking to a NCS Rundown
If you use a newsroom computer system such as ENPS or iNews to create news
rundowns, you can link to the NCS rundown and create a playlist automatically.
To open an NCS rundown:
• Select a rundown from the drop-down list and click
Open Rundown.
The rundown opens in the NewsQ Pro application, displays all clips in the
rundown, and cues clips to channels if
Autocue on Loading Rundown is
enabled (see “Setting Cue and Chain Options” on page 94). The playlist
displays a headframe for each clip; a red border appears around clips that are
not yet ready for playback.
