Playlists
A Nara playlist is a collections of media files which will play back as a single sequence. Clips can be assembled into a playlist from different media files within the same folder and then played back in the Nara Playback window.
A playlist does not have to be rendered and no media is copied - the video (and audio) stream is created in real-time directly from the actual source media in your storage system. It is exactly the same as when you play back a single clip.
Creating a New Playlist
To create a playlist, first make sure that the currently active project is the one you want to add the playlist to.
Select multiple thumbnails or rows in the browser (see Selecting Clips in the media browser) and then open the selection into the Player by pressing the space bar.
Click on the Add playlist to project button at the bottom right-hand corner of the Playback window:
A pop-up window will open asking you to give the playlist a name - the default name will simply be 'Playlist n' where 'n' is a number starting at 1. Click on the Ok button in the pop-up to add the playlist to project. The Add playlist button will now be blue:
Playlists appear in the active project under the list of folders:
They can be hidden and un-hidden by clicking on the small triangle icon to the left of 'Playlists'.
Clicking on the name of a playlist will immediately open it into the Playback window.
Playlist Options
If you hover the mouse over a playlist name it will highlight the playlist and show an options menu button (three dots) to the right of the name. Click on this button to access the following options:
Copy Link (this will copy a unique 'Nara link' to the playlist into the local clipboard which you can send to other people to allow them to play back the media on their own computer or tablet)
Delete (allows you to remove the playlist from this project)
Rename (click on this option to change the name of the playlist)
