The process of creating a video playlist for a BrightWall will differ depending on whether you created a [Regular  or  Stretched or Stretched](docId\:Dlv0d5ERj0fx6HzemFFj8) presentation.

# Regular BrightWall

Each screen in a video wall has a distinct playlist. You can switch among screens by selecting them in the **Screen** section.

To create a regular BrightWall, you will need to add a different video file (or Streaming/Live Video state) to each screen. The **Media Library** of a Regular BrightWall has special properties that help streamline playlist creation:

- A video with a file name in the format *“VideoName\_Number”* appears only in the **Media Library** of the screen corresponding to its number.
- Adding a video with a *“VideoName\_Number”* file name to a screen will add all other videos with the same format to their respective screen playlists. This behavior will only occur if the quantity of *“VideoName\_Number”* files corresponds to the number screens in the BrightWall presentation.

Your BrightWall project consists of four screens. The video is split into four files, each file representing ¼ of the entire wall: “Intro\_1.mpg”, “Intro\_2.mpg”, “Intro\_3.mpg”, and “Intro\_4.mpg”. Only “Intro\_1” will appear in the **Media Library** of Screen 1. Adding “Intro\_1” to Screen 1 will automatically add “Intro\_2” to Screen 2, “Intro\_3” to Screen 3, and “Intro\_4” to Screen 4. If your BrightWall project is expanded to six screens, then adding “Intro\_1” will not affect the playlists of the other screens because there are only four “Intro” video files.

# Stretched BrightWall

The entire video wall has the same playlist. Adding a video file, [Streaming Video](docId:-vmFovNNtaWScqmucN-Ug), [Live Video](docId\:E0_2ux8RBlZiyYw0JNbkj), or [RF Input](docId\:nEk4eBOJYouYEEdAoWWH_) to the playlist will split the video among the screens during playback.
