Organizing elements/Reels in Content List

Post by peter »

Just wanted to see if I'm doing this right. I'm doing a DCP with 5 reels (vs 1 long reel). I have the J2K image sequence for each Reel, and the WAVE audio files for each reel. I've added them into the content list using the Add Folder button.

Is the correct method to arrange all the elements to just use the 'Earlier' and 'Later' buttons to move the items up and down the list? Group the Reel 1 J2Ks and then WAVs, then Reel 2 J2Ks and WAV's, etc. Just curious if there is any other way to link or organize those elements in the DCP.. or the correct method is just to move them earlier and later in the list so all the similar Reel elements are next to each other in the list?

Thanks much,
Peter

Up/Down only will not necessarily create the proper layout - open timeline view and drag items where you want them, this is also the best way to check your arrangement.
