Looping Part of the Rundown

You can loop a part of the rundown, by setting a loop start and a loop end point in the rundown. The loop start and end are marked with 2 vertical white dots (see image below).

  • To set a loop start you can either:

    1. Set the loop in by right-clicking on any item in the story from where you want to start loop and select Loop > Start.

Auto-take

When entering the first item in a loop, Viz Mosart goes into auto-take next mode.

  • To exit auto-take mode use the control command AUTOTAKE.
    The screenshot below shows that either TOGGLE or DE-ACTIVATE will exit auto-take mode.

  • The command sequence STORY_ACTION > LOOP_CLEAR will also end the autotake.

Moving a Loop

  • To remove a end loop point, left click the loop point and select Loop > End to remove it.
    Autotake continues while you are moving the point.

  • Left-click the new position and choose Loop > End (or use a shortcut as described above).
    The same procedure can be done for Loop > Start.
    If the Loop > End point has been reached without a valid Loop Start point above it in the rundown, the next item is set to the first story in the rundown.

Stopping the Loop

  • To clear the loop, left-click and select Loop > Clear.
    This stops the auto-take. Removing both Loop Start and Loop End continues the auto-take.
