Preface 1.
To get started with Showeditor quickly, we recommend having a
look at our Quick-Start-Guide (last pages of this document). This
Quick-Start-Guide helps you in understanding the major features
of Software without explaining too many details – so it’s perfect for
everyone who likes to learn the software by doing.
The software Laserworld Showeditor is under permanent development. Thus it is not
possible to describe every single feature, as with nearly every update new features
are added. The manual will be updated with major new releases, so minor feature
updates might not be included yet.
Please always make sure you’re working with the latest software version of Laserworld
Showeditor. Laserworld does not force you to update, but we of course recommend
to always using the latest stable version. It is recommended to not update just before
a live event or show starts where the software should be used. It is recommended to
always do a general system test of software and corresponding hardware prior to
laser operation at a show.
When you find any mistakes in this manual or in the software, please contact our bug
