First Steps / Quick Start

For many applications it is not necessary to work through the whole manual for

getting started. The following explanations only give a brief overview of how basic

features can be accessed and run. However, it’s of course recommended to read

the manual in whole, as there are very many features in Laserworld Showeditor.

Laserworld Showeditor offers two different operation modes: The “Live Show” mode,

To playback an existing show, the show file needs to be loaded. Showeditor Laser

shows are stored in a folder, whereas each show resides in its own folder. This folder

contains the show data (figures, assignments, etc.) and the corresponding sound file.

and sound file are acquired separately, this is an important step to be done!

Open Laserworld Showeditor and switch to the Timeline window. Then click File ->

Open Laser Show. The dialog box allows for selecting the show file, it should have the

extension *.shw. If all necessary files are present (and if you have the rights to play

the show), the show will be loaded and is ready to be played.

To play the show, two options can be

chosen:
