Overview of the Playlist Creator
The Playlist Creator can typically be summarised into three key areas:
Area | Overview | Purpose |
Left Sidebar (1) | Content Folders (Uploading Media)
| The left side of the Playlist Creator is where you can upload new media, and manage your uploaded assets with the Recently Added, Unsorted, Control Assets, Trash and other Custom Folders you may have created. |
Middle Area (2) | Asset Library (Organise your Media)
| The middle area of the Playlist Creator is the Asset Library. This is where your uploaded assets will appear, which you can organise, preview and select from this area. |
Right Sidebar (3) | Playlist Timeline (Organising your Playlists) | The right side of the Playlist Creator is your Playlist Timeline. This is where you will essentially drag and drop your intended assets and organise the order in which they will play, including conditions, validity, and recurrence. |
How to change the Playlist Creator View?
The Playlist Creator provides various views to accommodate your workflow, which is especially beneficial when managing numerous assets. Typically, you can find options to modify the view (e.g., Grid, List) within the Playlist Creator interface, located at the top of the Playlist Timeline (Right Sidebar).
How can I search through my asset library?
Finding specific content in an extensive library is straightforward with the built-in search functionality:
While in the Playlist Creator, you can find the search bar at the top of the Asset Library (Middle Area). Enter the name or any relevant tags of the asset you are searching for into the search bar.
Once complete, press return or the search icon, and your search will be executed, returning any results found for you.
This helps you quickly locate and add the content to your playlists!
