**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
