Cueing and Playing Clips

Once you have a playlist, you can cue the clips to the appropriate channels and

play them to air.

Cueing Clips

The playlist automatically cues the first clips if the Auto Cue on loading

Rundown option is on, and cues subsequent clips when prior clips have played.

If a clip isn’t ready for playback, the clip is skipped and the next available clip

cues. You can also cue clips manually.

There are several ways to cue clips:

• Select the clip you want to cue and click

Cue All on the toolbar.

All channels are recued as specified in the automatic channel assignment,

starting with the selected clip.

• Manually cue a clip by dragging it to the target channel.

• In the channel window, click one of the following buttons:

Recue Current Clip — Resets the current clip in the channel back to the

beginning; the clip is ready to play.

Cue Previous Clip — Cues the previous clip assigned to the particular

channel; if no channel assignment is specified, NewsQ Pro cues the first

previously available clip.

Cue Next Clip — Cues the next clip assigned to the particular channel; if no

channel assignment is specified, NewsQ Pro cues the next available clip.

Turn Loop Playback On/Off — When on, continuously loops the

currently playing clip. To turn loop playback off, click this button again.
