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
