Cue and Play a Video Clip

In some situations, it is necessary to show the first frame of the next Video without starting the playout itself, which is called Cueing.

In case a Video clip is already loaded to the Timeline, but the Playout has not started yet, you can cue the first frame of the first Video in the Video Track using one of the following two methods:

1. Using the On Air control overlays:

• Press the “Play” or the “Cue” button to start the Playout of the movie or to cue the first frame.

2. Using the “Play” button of the timeline together with a keyboard shortcut:

• Hold down the “Command” key while pressing the “Play” button.

• The first frame of the Video is now cued.

• To start the Playout, press the “Play” button without holding down any key.

The buttons shown in the On Air window are depending on the status of the playout.

Icon	Function	Dependency
	Press this button to: start the playout of the first movie in the timeline to start a Movie where the first frame is cued to resume the playout of a paused movie.	There has to be at least one movie loaded in the timeline which is not playing with the first frame cued which is paused
	Press this button to Cue the first frame of the first Movie in the timeline.	There has to be a at least one movie loaded into the timeline with no Movie currently playing or paused.

Toggle the visibility of a layer

Use the visibility button in the timeline to toggle the visibility of the currently playing element on the specific Video (ctrl-1) or FX Layer (ctrl-3, ctrl-4 and so on). Toggling the visibility of the video layer will switch the video layer to the live signal or to black, if no live signal is available.

Workbench Double-Click Actions

It is possible to define a Workbench Double-Click Action in the Preferences of Just Live Pro. By default, this functionality is disabled, but you can choose from one of the following options:

• None

• Load

• Load and Cue

• Load and Play

• Clear, load and play

Refer to Chapter 2.1 Just Live Pro Settings (v.2026.x) and to the Chapter 7. Keyboard Shortcuts (v.2026.x) for more information how elements can be loaded and played.

Executing Actions on Multiple Layers

It is possible to execute actions on multiple Layers at the same time by holding the “Command” key while clicking the first Element of each layer. When issuing the Play command in the Timeline, it will then be issued to all selected elements.
