Playlists

Mapstard Projects can be grouped to Playlists for automated or manual playback. The Playlist Editor provides the functionality to design your Playlist either by capturing the current Project or by loading existing Projects from File. With the Deploy Playlist functionality, Project Files and referenced Media, FreeFrameGL Effects and 3D Models are copied to a folder you specify. The deployed Playlist folder can be moved for playback to another computer running mapstard.
