This page describes how to change an existing list, and which changes are safe while the list is running. Part 1 explained how to build a list. This page covers the changes you make before the show, and the few changes you make during the show.
Dragging
To move a line, drag it. A group moves as one block, with everything inside it, so you do not need to select its lines first.
The insertion line shows where the line will be placed, and this also works inside a group. If you drop a line onto the header of a collapsed group, the line is added at the end of that group. The numbers update as soon as you release the mouse button.
Duplicating
Right-click a line and choose Duplicate. The copy appears directly below the original, with the same trim, volume, transition and follow action.
This is useful when you need the same clip twice with different trims: you duplicate the cue and change the out point of the copy.
Renaming
Double-click the title, type the new name and press Enter. On a group header, you can also right-click and choose Rename….
A title starts as the file name, and a file name is often difficult to read during a broadcast. So rename the lines that you need to find quickly, for example to Clip opening instead of 2026-08-final-v3-export.mp4.
Deleting
Select a line and press Delete, or right-click the line and choose Delete. The program asks for confirmation, unless you switched this off under Settings → General.
Press Ctrl+Z to restore the last deleted line. The line returns to its original position, together with the music beds that were attached to it. You can restore up to twenty deletions, and the same command is the first entry in the right-click menu.
Undo applies to the list and not to the broadcast. If the deleted cue was on air, the playout remains stopped: undo restores the line, but it does not put the cue back on air.
If you want to remove a line from the running order without losing it, use the archive folder. A line in the archive is easy to find, but a deleted line can only be restored with undo.
Editing while the show runs
All of the above also works while a playout is live, and none of it affects the cue on air. There are two things to know:
- Dragging the cue that is on air does not stop it. The picture continues, and only the position of the cue in the list changes.
- Deleting the cue that is on air stops it, so avoid this during a broadcast.
Adding cues is always safe. You can drop files onto a running list when something unplanned is needed.
