Timeline

Hi!

I think it would be good, to have a timeline, so that you can program your lightshows synced to the Music...

It could be like this: You program your scenes normally... Now you open a window (timeline-tool) where you can load your music for the lightshow in... Now you see the waveforms... Then you can choose, which scenes should be used in the lightshow (or all programmed)... If you klick anywhere at the waveform, you could choose a scene, that plays at this time/point of the song...

I know that will be hard to program, but it was a really useful feature...

GREETZ

We have a tool for this. It is called EasyShow and it is included with our Sunlite Suite 2 software.

Yes but convincing management for another interface, could seem imposible, thats why we are asking for a basic feature like this.

A very basic timeline would be very useful. The goal isn't to provide a complete tool like the sunlite tool but a basic timeline to drag'drop scenes on, set the duration of a container, to prepare a more visual scene chaining that what 's possible with the current editor.

Hi all. recently had a project that required a time line and I have worked a way round doing it, so I thought I'd let you all know.

First create a group for the "song".
start posns. fade up. chorus. verse. fade out.

now create a second group with 4 scenes all set to one loop.
now link the jump to each of the above scenes (except start posns).

(I also added the mp3 scene enable media on the bottom of this group.)
now set the hold time to the required time to start each scene.

reduce the second group in live mode. enable your first group start scene.
now press the group start all scenes button in the group heading bar.
hey presto time line.!!

ps you need to go through the song in windows media player and watch the timing for the song, as to when to start the scenes.
