If I understand correctly.

Add a color input and set it to transparent. Then add both the green screened talent and playlist in the multiview option.

Martin,
I am running 15.62. I was playing with this and the Playlist Button does not stop the PlayList. Once a PlayList is created you can start it, but clicking the Playlist button again will do nothing. The playlist will continue to play. Is the Playlist button supposed to stop the playlist and CUT back to the previous active input (which would not be in the Preview Screen) ?

@ hexx

Your video list input should be a selectable option in the overlay drop down list of the Multi View feature, just like every other input.
(Just make sure you 'layer' all your inputs correctly).

NOTE: The Playlist function is not the same as the "List" input, do not confuse the two!

Hexx,
As Ice is saying, regardless of whether you use the Playlist function or not the Camera Input with your Talent/Greenscreen will be used as an Overlay. That way you can change the background behind them with various other inputs. When they are displayed as an Overlay, you can now display other inputs (images, Powerpoint, Videos, other camera views, etc) by making them the active "Output" or by using the "Multi View" option.

I have not used the Playlist function but when I played with it today it did not appear to function as I think it should. Maybe Martin can check on that. But I think you can accomplish what you want without necessarily using the Playlist function.

Also have you checked out the Virtual Sets? You can do some really cool stuff with those if you are using Talent/Commentators with green screens.
