The Preview section in Auto Adjust shows you exactly what changes will be made to your playout log before you commit to applying them. This allows you to review and understand the adjustments that Auto Adjust will perform without making any permanent changes to your schedule.

What the Preview displays: The preview shows a detailed breakdown of the specific modifications that Auto Adjust will make when you click the Apply button, including which tracks will have their tempos adjusted, how segues will be modified, and which items (if any) will be soft deleted to fit the target timing.

Key information shown:

• Tempo adjustments for tracks with Type "Song" - showing which tracks will be sped up or slowed down and by how much
• Segue modifications between tracks to achieve smoother transitions within the time constraints
• Items to be soft deleted - tracks that would play after the target time and need to be removed

Using the Preview effectively: Click the Refresh icon to update the preview list if you've made any changes to your playout log since opening Auto Adjust. This ensures you're seeing the most current analysis of what changes are needed.

If there aren't enough items scheduled to perform Auto Adjust, you'll be prompted to schedule more items from your playout pattern before the preview will show you the proposed adjustments.

Important note: The preview is essential for understanding the impact of Auto Adjust, especially since custom volume envelopes set manually on items may be destroyed when Auto Adjust is applied. Review the preview carefully before clicking Apply to ensure you're comfortable with all the proposed changes.

This preview functionality requires the Advanced Scheduling module to access the full Auto Adjust features.
