Just Play Pro Settings
The actual setup and configuration of the Settings is done by your system administrator. For a full overview of the Settings, refer to Chapter 10.1. Configuration Panel - Settings (v.2026.x).
To open the “Settings”, go to the menu “Just Control → Settings”.Playout
Show names for all items in the Timeline: Activating this option will show the names of all items in the Timeline as an overlay. If this option is deactivated, you can still move the mouse pointer above an item in the Timeline to see its name.
Show tooltips in the Library: Deactivate this option to disable tooltips in the Library while moving the mouse pointer over entries. This option is enabled by default.
Poster Frames Cache: This defines the folder where poster frames will be saved. By default, the poster frames are saved in the folder “Poster Frames” inside the “Documents” folder of the current user. This option is enabled by default. Disable it to suppress the creation of new poster frames in the Workbench of Just Play Pro.
Default Video clip In-Point: This option is disabled by default. Enable it to enter a timecode value. Once enabled, the in-point of Video clips that are dragged from the Library into a Playlist will be set to the specified value (assuming that the Video clip contains timecode). This is useful if all of your Video clips contain a trailer or countdown before the actual Video clip content starts.
Synchronise in-point and poster frame for scheduled Video clips: Activate this option to take over the newly set in point as the poster frame for the selected Video clip.
Show video timecode where available (as of v.2025.4.0): There's a new “Show video timecode where available” option in the Just Control application settings “Playout” tab. By default, this is off, but when selected the video trimmers (both for the Library and the Inspector) and the Inspector fields for in- and out-points will display timecode relative to the video asset’s timecode track. So, for example, if the in-point is set to one second after the start of the video, and the video has a timecode track with the first frame specified as “10:00:00:00”, then the in-point in the inspector and trimmers would be shown as “10:00:01:00”.

Live preview when dragging the Timeline: With this option, you can disable the update of the "On Air" window while scratching the Timeline. Disabling this option improves the responsiveness of the user interface.
Automatically refresh dropped Playlists: Activating this feature automatically “refreshes” any Playlists when they are dragged from the “Playlists” tab (in the Library) and dropped into either the Calendar or the Workbench view. This is especially useful when you have older saved Playlists that do not include necessary metadata like aspect ratio or Colour space, and you want to automatically include them when dropping Playlists into the schedule.
Reset all dialog warnings: Pressing the “Reset” button enables dialog warnings again.
Depending on the size of the Playlist (= the number of Video clips) the Automatically refresh dropped Playlists feature may slow down dropping Playlists into the schedule as each Video clip in the Playlist has to be interpreted by Just Play Pro and the necessary metadata needs to be extracted.
Make sure the Video clips in the playlist are available in the correct Repository Folder(s), otherwise the imported Playlist will be empty.
