I have a shortcut that advances the selection point in the List Editor, see below, using the NextItem command. However, what seems to be happening is that while the “next item” is indeed emboldened, see item no 3 in the list, the orange selection bar does not actually move on. This results in the same video playing repeatedly, i.e. the first video in the list shown. Any advice very welcome. Image1.jpg (67kb) downloaded 0 time(s).

OK, starting with a blank preset. Add a List input, five videos. “Auto Next” disabled. Assign key N to NextItem on List input, Video: Current Assign key P to ListplayOut, same List, video: Current Both local shortcuts The above works correctly AS LONG AS no video is manually selected with the cursor, i.e. the orange selection bar is not showing. However, as soon as any video is manually selected, that is the only video that will then play with the P / ListplayOut command, irrespective of whatever emboldened video is selected by the N / NextItem action.

Once an item is selected manually with the cursor, that is the only item that will play using ListplayOut Current. Surely this isn’t intentional?

List Thanks, Elvis, but that's not the problem. The issue is getting the correct list item to play using NextItem and Listplayout.

I was using the wrong Play command on the List. “While the "NextItem" Shortcut advances to the next emboldened clip for playing, to play that clip, you would need to use the "Play" Shortcut set to "Current" clip in the List. The "ListPlayOut" Shortcut is for playing out the Playlist (usually the entire List or a good portion of it) and the start point is determined by the orange highlight, so whatever is highlighted in orange will be where the Playout starts.” Thanks for sorting me out on this!

(manually selecting a clip WITHIN the LIST highlights it) update: weird when i replaced the LISTPLAYOUT shortcut with PLAY (both set to current) its not working confused

There are so many videos in the list that it’s far easier simply to simply issue the NextItem command via the keyboard rather than use the mouse. The difference between selecting an item (highlight) and emboldening is quite subtle, and maybe could be explained in slightly more detail in the User Guide. However, anyone having the same issue can simply search the forum, and find this answer.
