How to use the Timeline Show Playlist within BEYOND
Play List
The Play List is specifically designed for playing Timeline shows. It is not possible to load all shows into the Workspace memory. Please save your Timeline shows into BEYOND Show files. The Play List has the ability to “Preload” shows, so BEYOND will keep the show in memory.

The center (yellow) - visible when the mouse cursor is above the time slider (progress bar) and shows the time corresponding to the cursor position.
The right side (green) - the amount of time before the end of the show.
Time slider (progress bar) - visible while the show is active and also can work as a slider. You can click on it and the show playback will jump to corresponding position.

A Couple of hints:
There are PangoScript commands that work with the Play List . If you need a more complex scenario than a linear execution, please take a look at PangoScript.
During the Play List playback, you can use the Workspace Grid at the bottom of the BEYOND interface as well as the Live Control tab.
