ShowSHOW and timeline
A show with videos and cues, started with GO.
The SHOW tab is a running order of cues, like in a theatre: GO (space bar) starts the next one, Back goes one back, Stop all ends everything.
- Running order: the cues; a click opens the details, a double click sets the next one.
- Add cues: video / image, camera, black, VJ scene, timecode.
- Timeline of the selected cue with play, record and the length.
- Scene palette: drag scenes onto the scene track or tap them.
- Effect palette: strobe, flash, white, W-flash, blinder, blackout onto the effect track.
- Output preview.
- GO starts the next cue (space bar), below Back and Stop all.
- Cue details: start, wait, duration, end, fades, size.
Cues
| Cue | What it does |
|---|---|
| Video / image | plays a file over or instead of the visuals; drag files into the list |
| Camera | shows a camera input |
| Black | fades the picture to black |
| VJ scene | recalls a scene |
| Timecode | starts, stops or locates VJ-Link's timecode clock |
Per cue: start by hand, after or with the previous one, by timecode, plus a wait time; trim; repeat off, x times, until GO or forever, also only a part; at the end hold, fade or go on; fade-in, volume, size, visuals off or over.
Timeline
Convert to timeline (for a video, or an image or black with a duration) opens a big editor under the cue list:
- Drag scenes from the palette onto the track, change the length at the edges, drag the middle to move. Edges snap (⌥ without).
- Or play the video and tap scenes, or press Record and trigger scenes live from pads, keys, MIDI or the desk.
- A second track holds effects: strobe, flash, white, W-flash, blinder and blackout.
- In gaps the scene that ran at the start applies. Each block has its own brightness.
