Files

This chapter has not changed since version 1.0.2.

A rundown is a file, the material it points at is more files, and sooner or later somebody has to take the whole thing to another building. This part is about all of that.

PageWhat it covers
Dragging files inWhat the program recognises, where it lands, and what happens to the rest.
Saving and opening listsThe .playout file, and coming back to yesterday’s show.
Sharing a groupHanding one block to another location.
BundlesA rundown with its media inside it.
Where your files liveThe folders in Documents, and what belongs where.

The distinction that matters

A list points at media. A bundle contains it.

Within one building, where every machine reaches the same server, a list is enough and nothing is copied twice. Between buildings, a list arrives with nothing to play — and that is what bundles are for.

Almost every “it worked here but not there” comes down to that one difference.
