How do I manually run the Auto Adjust feature on my current playout log?

The Auto Adjust feature automatically adjusts tempos and segues to fit your content to the next fixed time marker or end of hour. Here's how to run it manually:

Accessing Auto Adjust:

  1. Go to Tools > Auto Adjust from the main menu in PlayIt Live
  2. The Auto Adjust window will open showing a preview of what changes will be made

Understanding the preview:

  • The preview shows exactly what Auto Adjust will do when applied
  • Click the Refresh icon to update the preview if you've made changes to your playout log
  • If there aren't enough items scheduled, you'll be prompted to schedule more items from your playout pattern

Running Auto Adjust:

  1. Review the preview to see the proposed changes
  2. Click the Apply button to implement the adjustments
  3. Auto Adjust will make the following changes:
    • Adjust tempos of tracks (Type: "Song" only) up to your maximum tempo setting
    • Modify segues up to your maximum segue setting
    • Soft delete items that would play after the target time

Important notes:

  • Requires Advanced Scheduling module for full functionality
  • Only affects tracks with Type "Song" - other types are ignored
  • Auto Adjust won't modify items that have already started playing
  • Custom volume envelopes set manually may be destroyed when Auto Adjust is applied
  • Use Revert button to undo the most recent Auto Adjust changes (except soft-deleted items)

Target calculation: Auto Adjust works towards the next fixed time marker in your log, or the end of the current hour - whichever comes first.

This feature is particularly useful for ensuring your programming fits perfectly within your scheduled time slots.
