Just 4 steps
The Show Manager has been studied to be used quickly and easily. Basically with just 4 steps a
complete Show can be created:
1. Add a new Show
First of all you need to add a new Show to the view. This creates an empty multitrack view
with no tracks and no items, ready to be filled.
A popup will appear asking the name to assign to the Show. It is possible to change the
name afterward with the Function Manager, using the Show Editor panel.
2. Add a track
In the Show Manager, a track corresponds to a Scene. When you add a track, a popup will
ask you to select an existing Scene or to create a new one with a default name.
When done, a new track will be created. All the sequences created on this track will act
only on the associated Scene, not affecting all the other tracks.
