A new feature available in version 2.22+ of Show Control gives an alias to a file within any button type.  Designed to be used in conjunction with the Mark In/Mark out feature Display Studio: How do I mark in or mark out my clips in my Show Control System?

This feature enables users to segment a large clip that contains multiple ads or highlights, assigning unique aliases to each segment for identification in the Queue. For instance, a user could upload a lengthy recorded clip and utilize the Mark In/Out function to designate the initial 10 seconds as Highlight #1, the subsequent 20 seconds as Highlight #2, and so on. Subsequently, the user can assign an alias to each of these 'new' clips within a playlist or on a play button. These aliases will be visible in the Queue as part of a Quick Display container and in the Status Log within a Scripting Container.

Steps

Open an existing button or create a new button in Display Studio
