Reusing a playlist

A Playlist is used by opening it, to do this either double-click its icon in the Items List or proceed as follows:

1.	Click the Tray button found to the left hand side of the Tray itself.

2.	Select the Open Playlist... option.

3.	Locate the file on your computer and click the Open button.

When a Playlist is created it does not duplicate the video clips it contains but simply instructs Dartfish where the original clips can be found. If a clip contained in a Playlist is moved to another folder, deleted, or the folder containing it is unavailable (for example, a disconnected network folder or external hard-drive) then Dartfish will be unable to find it. When the Playlist is opened you will be offered the opportunity to find the clip.


If the No button is clicked the Playlist will continue to open the remaining clips (and continue to warn you if the files are not found). Remember to save the Playlist if you wish the changes to be permanent (see Modifying a playlist).
