--- title: AdHoc Playlists Overview description: The Pro Quick Draw (PQD) Cutup Generator allows you to quickly create large sets of organized video cutups and automatically send them to your video platform.

[AdHoc Playlists](https://help.proquickdraw.com/helpcenter/cutup-generator-web-version?hsLang=en#adhoc-playlists) August 24, 2026 # AdHoc Playlists Overview ## Sometimes the cutup you need isn't a rule — it's a judgment call. Ad-hoc playlists are the hand-picked ones: the teach tape, the highlight reel, the "show the o-line these six plays" list. You build the shelves once, then stock them from anywhere in your library. ### The Idea The Ad-Hoc rule builds the empty shelves — the folders and playlists, named your way. This chapter is stocking them. Ad-hoc folders and playlists wear **blue icons** in the tree so they're easy to spot among the generated ones, and every label carries a live count — "Two-Minute (12)". That count is about to matter.
