Using stop points
You can attach stop points to regions in the Playlist. When a stop point is encountered during playback, the corresponding region is
repeated the number of times specified by the Count value and playback is halted.
Creating a stop point
Perform one of the following actions to set the stop point for a Playlist:
• Right-click a region in the Playlist window and choose Stop Point from the shortcut menu.
• Select a region in the Playlist window and press Ctrl+E or Ctrl+8 (not on the numeric keypad).
A check mark appears adjacent to the comment in the shortcut menu and a stop point (indicated by a red circle) appears in the Playlist.
Note:
When you play your Playlist, it will continue to play through the regions until it encounters a stop point. This is useful when
triggering playback from incoming MIDI or timecode and you only want certain sections of the Playlist to be played at a time.
Deleting a stop point
Perform one of the following actions to remove the stop point for a Playlist:
• Right-click a region in the Playlist window and choose Stop Point from the shortcut menu.
• Select a region in the Playlist window and press Ctrl+E or Ctrl+8 (not on the numeric keypad).
The corresponding check mark is cleared from the shortcut menu and the stop point (indicated by a red circle) is removed from the
Playlist.
Playing from the Playlist
The Playlist displays the sequential order in which regions play. To play a region, click the corresponding Play button ( ). Playback
begins with the selected region and continues through the end of the Playlist, playing a region multiple times when instructed by the
Count value.
Note:
Playback is interrupted if a stop point is present. For more information, see Using stop points on page 132.
Creating a new file from the Playlist
After you have auditioned and arranged all regions in the Playlist, you can create a new file based on the Playlist arrangement. To create
a new file from the Playlist, right-click the Playlist and choose Convert to New from the shortcut menu.
Note:
If the original file has both audio and video components (such as an AVI file), the new file created from the Playlist contains the
audio portion only.
Configuring the Playlist as a Cutlist
When trimming lengthy recordings, configuring the Playlist as a Cutlist can sometimes decrease editing time. In Play as Cutlist mode,
the original file is played, but all regions placed on the Cutlist are ignored. Click the Play as Cutlist button ( ) on the playbar to enter
Play as Cutlist mode.
