Settings is a special category that has many functions.

Clicking the Stock Footage tag will filter the playlist to only include videos tagged as stock footage - leaving out any 3D and motion graphics files. When applied this tag also adjusts the starting point during transitions to account for footage that is not seamlessly loopable.

Clicking the Branding tag will filter the playlist to only include media you have tagged as branding for yourself or your company.

Clicking the favorites tag will filter the playlist to only include media you have tagged as a favorite.

Clicking Do Not Play will filter the playlist to only include media you assigned the Do Not Play tag. This can be helpful in case you want to remove the Do Not Play tags from your media since this is the only way to force vidjam to populate the playlist with Do Not Play tagged media.

Clicking Do Not Timestretch will filter the playlist to only include media you assigned the Do Not Timestetch tag. This tag will prevent videos from speeding up or slowing down their speed to match the master tempo when the time stretching button is engaged. This is useful for content that would not make sense to be sped up or slowed down like movie snipits or music videos.

Clicking Crossfade will filter the playlist to only include media you assigned the crossfade tag. This forces a crossfade between the start and end points when looping a video with this tag applied. You should apply this tag to any videos that are not seamlessly loopable to help smooth out the loop points. You may adjust the crossfade time in preferences.

Clicking the Corrupt file tag will populate the playlist with all files the system has found to be corrupt. This is useful to locate and fix any problematic files inside your media folders.

More tag categories can be discovered in preferences. You may also create new tag categories with custom tag names to fit your own unique workflow.
