--- title: Working with the Grid in Detail 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. Instead of manually building playlists one at a time, the Cutup Generator lets you define rules once and generate multiple sorted playlists in seconds. --- [Skip to content](https://help.proquickdraw.com/helpcenter/cutupgeneratorweb/grid-details#main-content) English Show submenu for translations [![Pro Quick Draw Logo\_Black](https://help.proquickdraw.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Pro%20Quick%20Draw%20Logo_Black.png?width=400&height=48&name=Pro%20Quick%20Draw%20Logo_Black.png)](https://www.proquickdraw.com?hsLang=en) - [Homepage](http://www.proquickdraw.com/) - [Customer Dashboard](https://dashboard.pqdcloud.com/) Open main navigation Close main navigation - [Homepage](http://www.proquickdraw.com/) - [Customer Dashboard](https://dashboard.pqdcloud.com/) - English Show submenu for translations - [Contact Support](http://www.proquickdraw.com/contact-support) [Contact Support](http://www.proquickdraw.com/contact-support?hsLang=en) How Can We Help? - There are no suggestions because the search field is empty. 1.

[Working the Grid](https://help.proquickdraw.com/helpcenter/cutup-generator-web-version?hsLang=en#working-the-grid) July 24, 2026 # Working with the Grid in Detail ### Header Toggles - **Show/Hide video** — the video stage above the grid. - **Show/Hide PFF diagram** — Catapult projects only. - **Show/Hide playlist pane** — give the grid the full width. This one is always available, even with nothing selected, so a hidden tree can never strand you. ### The Column Menu Every column header is a menu. Click one and you get: - **Sort Ascending / Sort Descending / Sort Most Frequent / Sort Least Frequent** — the same engine as sort rules, applied on the fly. Sort several columns and small numerals on the headers show the priority. - **Group by this column/Ungroup** — instant count-and-percent bands, no sort rule required. - **Filter values** — a checklist of every value in this playlist (blanks show as "(Blank)"). Uncheck to hide those plays; filter several columns at once and they stack. - **Clear column** — remove this one column's sort, group, and filter. Icons on the header keep score: sort/frequency arrows, a tree icon when grouped, a filter icon when filtered. ### What If, Means What If The moment any of that is active, a bar lights up above the grid: "What-if view (not saved):" with a chip per column — "Play Type (most freq · grouped)" — and a **Reset view** button. The name is the promise. Nothing you do here is ever written to your saved sort rules, and the view resets when you switch playlists.  Drill-downs land here too: double-click a chart bar or a stat row and the grid opens filtered to exactly those plays — same mechanism, same chips, same **Reset view** to climb back out. ### Selecting Plays - **Click** a row to select that play — a plain click also cues the video to it. - **Ctrl-click** adds or removes plays from the selection; **Shift-click** selects a range. Multi-selects are for curation — they don't yank the video around. - With plays selected, an action bar appears above the grid ("4 plays selected") with a **⋯** menu — the same actions as right-click, reachable on touch devices where right-click isn't. ### Right Click Options Right-click any selected play (or use the **⋯** menu) and you get: - "**Add N plays to:**" — your ad-hoc playlists, mirrored as a nested menu; pick one and the selection lands in it. - "**Remove N from this playlist**" — offered while you're viewing an ad-hoc playlist. - "**Download video**" (Hudl/QwikCut) — pick a single angle by name, or **All clips**. One clip saves as an MP4; more arrive zipped as "{Playlist} clips.zip", with files named by grid row and angle — "007 - Sideline.mp4" — so they sort in film order on disk. A progress pill counts the clips down ("Downloading clips… (3/8)"), and a notice tells you if any clips were skipped. ### Hand Order AdHoc Playlists Click **+ New Project** at the bottom of the list. It requires being connected, new projects belong to the connected team (the disabled button's tooltip says so). One field: **Name** ("e.g. Offense 2025"). Name it for what's **in** it, the opponent, the side of ball, the season. The partner is inherited from your current connection. Click **Create**. A new project starts with **0 Games** and no filter, nothing loads until you pick games. - [Account & Dashboard Setup](https://help.proquickdraw.com/helpcenter/account-dashboard-setup?hsLang=en#main-content) -
