Tooltip: Much like live media, images represent a special case for the Playlist because they have no defined duration. Like film clips, however, they are nevertheless given a frame length, meaning that ‘Loop’ mode must be activated in the playlist.

- F - Open the Playlist Tab. Position and configure the clips.
- G - The next image or clip can be played back with the ► Play button, with ►► SkipToNext the after next clip will be played back. The current clip is highlighted green.
- H - 'Fade In' and 'Fade Out' can be set individually for each image in the menu below.


Tooltip: Images and live media can also be positioned in the Preloads, as well as assigned effects.

Right-Click into an empty cell → IO Commands → Load a Keystone File

Double-Click on the top bar in the settings at the bottom of the screen, open the saved Keystone File.
