Laserworld Showeditor 2015
Version 2015/1.0 2015 Page 117
During playing or recording a show, each event is forwarded to the corresponding
program window as well, so e.g. changes to the figures are pushed to the figure
editor and changes to effects are pushed to the Effects Window. This behaviour
allows for modular effect processing.
The Timeline shows the progress of the show. If a *.wav file is used as music track, the
volume level is displayed there.
To record events in the Timeline Editor, the respective subtrack must be marked (click
on its caption). Marked tracks get a green background color.
Buttons and Tools 9.1.
9.1.1. Magnifying Glass
The magnifying glass is used for zooming parts of the Timeline. The magnifying
glass works in the same way as the one in the Figure Editor (See 6.3.8).
The zooming can be done in several steps after each other.
Reset the zoom with a click on the tool with the left mouse button or by clicking the
button “Redraw Timeline” with the right mouse button.
9.1.2. Hand
The hand has similar functions as the one in the Figure Editor for marking or
moving events (See 6.3.1).
Only events of ONE subtrack can be marked. The subtrack that is in the
centre of the selection rectangle is activated.
Movements are done by click-dragging with the right mouse button. The marked
events are moved. If no event is marked, the one under the curser is considered as
marked. By holding the “Ctrl”-key during the intended movement, a copy of the
original event is made and moved to the new position. It is possible to also move
events to other subtracks as long as the new subtrack is of the same nature than the
original one. Marked events have a differently colored background and can thus be
identified.
9.1.3. Eraser Tool
The eraser works like the one in the Figure Editor (See 6.3.5).
