Video summary / instrcutions extracted: How to Create a Queue List Composition in ExaPlay
1. Introduction
This guide will focus on setting up a queue list composition in ExaPlay. If you are familiar with creating timelines from our previous videos, you’ll find this process somewhat similar yet distinctively structured for different uses.
2. Starting a New Queue List
Begin by launching ExaPlay and navigate to the area where new compositions are created.
Click on the specified button to start a new composition and name it “Queue List”.
3. Understanding Queue Lists
A queue list is essentially an organized collection of media files that can be played in sequence.
It is designed to facilitate easy playback of media, making it ideal for on-demand video playbacks or background media in presentations.
4. Adding Media to Your Queue List
Locate the media browser which allows you to access media from various sources including your local network, hard disk, public documents, and the ExaPlay folder.
In this example, navigate to the ExaPlay folder where sample videos are stored.
To add media to your queue list, simply drag and drop files from the browser directly into the queue list composition.
5. Playing Media in Queue List
Once media is added, you can play videos directly from the queue list.
Transition seamlessly from one video to another, which is particularly useful for quick changes during presentations or exhibits.
6. Customizing Playback
Customize how your media plays within the queue list:
Define fades between media files, such as cross-fades or fade-to-blacks, to enhance transitions.
Set actions for the end of each track, such as automatically proceeding to the next video, which is the default behavior.
7. Comparing Queue Lists and Timelines
To illustrate the difference, create a new composition and select “Timeline”.
In a timeline, media files are arranged on layers across a timeline based on time, offering a more granular control over the playback and positioning of media.
8. Conclusion
Both queue lists and timelines offer valuable features depending on your project needs. Experiment with both to determine which best suits your specific media playback requireme
