25. Select an icon in the GFX 1 playlist and press CTRL + a on the keyboard to
select all playlist entries.
26. Press Delete on your keyboard, clearing out the all playlist entries (this is a
non-destructive deletion, never fear).
27. Repeat the two steps above for GFX 2.
28. Add some image files (a dozen or more) to GFX 1 (you can use some of the
images from the NewTek group under the Still location heading for this
example).
29. Click on one the icons about halfway through the playlist, highlighting it.
30. Hold down the Shift key, and click the last icon in the playlist. This will multi-
select all of the files from the first one you clicked to the last one (the icons are
given a lighter outline to show their selection status).
31. Right-click anywhere in the playlist, and select Cut from the context menu.
32. Right-click in the playlist area of the GFX 2 and select Paste.
33. Hint: Instead of using Cut and Paste, we could simply have dragged the selected
icons from one playlist to the other.
Let’s pause to review. To this point, we've prepared two Media Players with similar
playlists consisting of a series of still images.
Hint: Still image files default to a fifteen second duration when added to a playlist.
Fine, but ‘what about the aforementioned fun’, you ask? Indeed, let us press on:
34. Turn Single and Autoplay on in both players, and make sure Loop is off for
both Media Players.
35. Select GFX 1 on the Switcher’s Program row.
36. Select GFX 2 on the Switcher’s Preview row.
37. Click the first entry in both playlists (to set the current position).
