How to customize a playlist SVG document
The playlists created using the New Playlist menu (or using the My Templates/new_playlist.svg file) allow the
user to select a set of predefined transitions between the slides. This playlist template instructs XPress to
expose the following parameters in the Properties tab (FIG. 17):
Background Fill: Specifies the color of the background. Can be set to 'none' to indicate a
transparent background.
Max Slide Duration: Specifies the maximum duration of one slide (media). If a media is longer
than this duration, it will be truncated. This option is very useful for playlist of images, as images
have no duration.
Default Slide Duration: Specifies the default duration of one slide (media) if the media doesn't
have a duration (like images)
Enable Looping: Specifies whether the playlist should loop or not when reaching the last media
file from the list.
Inter Slide Duration: Specifies the interval between the display of two media files. If set to a value
different than zero, the background will be shown during this amount of time at the end of every
media.
Default Transition: Groups the transition settings of the playlist
Type: Type of transition between the slides. The following transitions can be selected:
none: No transition between each media. This is equivalent to a scene cut.
fade: The new slide fades in while the old slide fades out.
fly: The new slide flies in, while the old slide flies out, according to the direction set by the user.
wipe: The new slide is wiped on top of the old slide, according to the direction set by the user.
random: Select a different random transition for each slide.
Direction: For the fly and wipe transition, select the direction of the effect.
Duration: The duration of the transition effect.
In addition to the Properties tab, playlist SVG documents instruct XPress to open a Playlist tab in the editing
panel. This tab lets you compose the playlist and the order in which media elements will be played.
The following interactions are possible from the Playlist tab:
Add a new media. You may use different ways to add a new media:
Drag-and-drop any media to the Playlist tab of editing panel. If the new media is dropped on top of
an existing media, it will replace it. Otherwise it will be inserted where it was dropped.
Click on the “...” at the bottom right of the table. This will open the Media dialog, and allows you to
type the URL of your media. This is useful if you want to add media from remote sites.
Use the pop-up menu and choose Insert. This will insert an empty media at the selected position.
The empty media can then be edited using the “...” at the bottom right of the line.
Delete an existing media. Use the pop-up menu or the Delete key.
