This article will show how to insert growing files into a playlist.

Definition<\/strong>
A growing file is a file that is still being recorded – it is therefore growing in size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommended Setting<\/strong>
When working with growing Files, we recommend you enabling the Settings “Recalculate File Duration” and “Enable Background-Scan”. The first will make sure, that the File Duration is more accurate and the second will rescan your file every 5 seconds to update its duration in the playlist:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insert to Playlist<\/strong>
Growing files can be inserted to the playlist like any other file: By Drag Drop from outside of PLAYDECK or using the integrated file explorer. They will be detected as “growing”, which can be verified in the info column. The clip duration will be updated every 5 seconds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possible Sources<\/strong>
The files can be recorded anywhere, they don’t need to be recorded in PLAYDECK. In the above screenshot we are using one PLAYDECK recording, another from OBS Studio and another from MagicSoft Recorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possible Formats<\/strong>
Only the following file container formats are supported. But within that container you can use any video codec:
– MKV
– AVI
– MPEG<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cutting and Editing<\/strong>
You can cut and edit growing files the same way as regular files. For example: You can set an OUT point to the file and loop it, while it is still being recorded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
