jit.playlist

Use jit.playlist to organize sets of video files and play them back. Each video is given a visual representation in a clip where a selection from the entire video file may be choosen. Clips may be dragged within a jit.playlist to re-order them, or they maybe dragged to other jit.playlist objects by using the handle (dot) on the left side of the clip.
