Create A Show

Adding, Changing and Deleting Scenes

Adding a Scene

As a show is played, clips can move in and out of the stage. For example, you could have a video play for 5 seconds, then have some text displayed below it for the next 5 seconds. Doing this would require two scenes,

To summarize, when you add or remove a clip from the stage, a new scene is needed.

To add a new scene, be sure the show is stopped at the point where you want to add the scene. You can do this by placing the cursor on the timeline (See Using the Timeline). Next, click the Insert Scene button New Scene Icon and a new empty screen is added to the Scene column on the left side of the editor.

To make a duplicate copy of a scene, first make sure you've selected the scene to be copied, then click the Insert Duplicate Scene button Copy Scene Icon. A copy of the previous scene is created. This is handy when you want any part of a scene to remain in place for the next part of the show, but need to change something else about the scene.

Deleting a Scene

To delete a scene, make sure you've got the scene you want to delete selected, then click the Delete Scene button Delete Scene Icon. The scene will will be deleted.

You can also drag scenes to reorder them in the show. Just click a scene column on the left side of the editor, so it's highlighted yellow. Then, drag it before or after another scene in the scene column.

Changing a Scene

To change a scene's timing or duration, start by viewing the properties of the scene by clicking the Clips Icon button. You can change the start, end and duration manually by increasing or decreasing the numbers, then click the Accept button to commit the change.
