9.1.6. Buttons Cut, Copy and Paste
These buttons are self-explaining (See 6.3.2).
9.1.7. Buttons Undo/Redo
A click on UNDO cancels the most recent changes. The state after the last
use of editing features or recording is restored. The undo keeps up to 10
levels back. REDO does the opposite of UNDO.
If the storing of the undo files takes too much time, which can happen when working
with very complex and long shows, the storing of undo files can be switched off in
“Options → Others”.
9.1.8. Show Control Buttons
The Show Control Buttons handle the
playing, recording stopping etc. of the
laser show.
The green arrows are the Play buttons
(Play and PlayHQ), the red, full circle is to
start recording, the violet arrow (Jump to
start) sets the timeline position to the start of the show and the blue square is used to
stop the playing or recording. The start position for playing or recording can be
specified with a click on the desired position on the tracks or on the timeline. If the
playing or recording is stopped and restarted again, the restart begins at this position
until another position is selected or the violet arrow is clicked. The start position is
changed, when events are marked or deleted. Furthermore a loop timeframe can
be specified.
9.1.8.1. Button Play
This button is intended to be used during the editing of a show. A click on this
button starts the replay of the show, but the quality can be poorer than with
using the Play HQ button. Depending on the setup in the Timeline menu
“Settings -> Start/Stop Laser output automatically” the laser output are switched on
automatically.
The same is applies for the DMX-output. When using the normal Play button for
playing a show not from the very beginning, some effects paths may not be applied
correctly.
The advantage of the use of the Play button over the Play HQ button is that the Play
button also allows for starting the playback at any time in the timeline, which makes
it very suitable for show editing.
9.1.8.2. Button Play HQ
The Play HQ button is used to start the playing of a show in high quality. “Start”
means that after a click on the button and after a certain, adjustable time,
the monitor is blacked out, the outputs to the windows are stopped and the
show is displayed on the laser projector(s). The start delay can be adjusted with a
right mouse click on the button. The show starts at its very beginning and all effects
