# Playlist management

In the Output tab mode, you control a playlist:

## Background

For a playlist, you can set a Background - the content you see when no playlist item is played. You can set color bars, solid colors, a local file, a live source, etc:

\<Custom Color> opens a color selection dialog:

\<Media File> opens a standard dialog to choose a video file. With the \<Playlist> you can use a sequence of files and live sources as a background for your main playback. The \<Live> option opens a live source configuration.

## &#x20;Playlist Items

You can use various items for playback:

From top to bottom, the options are:

* Add a local file - MOV, MXF, MP4, AVI, TS, MKV, etc.
* Add a live source - web cameras, game capture devices, professional capture devices
* Add a network stream - UDP, SRT, RTMP, HLS streams, direct links to YouTube, etc.&#x20;
* Add a sub-playlist - for better playlist management, just like groups of playlist items
* Add Image sequence - just set a folder where your images are located
* Add content from another tab - to use the content you already have in InitWIZ
* Save the playlist
* Load a playlist

For example, a small playlist might look like this:

By using the gear button on the right side, you can open the parameters of each playlist item and change its configuration.

You can reorder the items by dragging them.
