Overview

In this lesson we explain advanced edit features for scenes and scene lists, e.g. for modification of already saved scenes. So you can very effectively and almost EXCEL like copy and customize cues.

Lecture 12: Editing scenes and scenelists

In Lesson 8 we introduced the scene lists. In this lecture more advanced features are explained.

By default a new scene is added to an existing scene list by pressing the button "Add Cue". When you open the small dropdown arrow on right hand side of this button you see some more sophisticated capabilities with their short code. In most cases you have to mark a scene at first before applying this modification.

Hint: The following operations are related to the values in the programmer.

Function	short code	Description	Comment
Add	Strg+A	add a new scene to scene list at the end	default
Insert	Strg+I	insert a new scene to scenelist before selected scene
Replace	Strg+R	replace current scene attributes by the values in the programmer
Merge	Strg+M	merges selected scene with programmer values	programmer values with higher priority
Append	Strg+P	append new property from programmer to the selected scene	existing scene with higher priority, new values from programmer are added
Subtract	Strg+B	removes a property from selected scene	-	Sum (Special)	Inserts current output of devices into Cue List
PSum (Special)		Similar to Sum, but related to currently selected devices in Stage View
Preset (Special)		Opens a window, where you have the capability to add a Preset to Cue List
Scenelist (Special)		Inserts (similar to commands in DMXControl 2) a entry to impact another cue list

In similar way, there are also edit operations for the scene list itself. As known from EXCEL, you can copy, cut and delete whole rows. With the copy/paste content operations you can take over the value from single fields to other cues.

Again, here is the summarizing table for explanation:

Function	short code	Description	Comment
Edit in Programmer		Selected cue is loaded into Programmer. Programmer Output Mode is set to All
Edit in Programmer Blind		Selekted cue is loaded into Programmer. Programmer Output Mode is set to Blind
Cut	Strg+X	cut the selected scene	like EXCEL "cut row"
Copy	Strg+C	copy the selected scene	like EXCEL "copy row"
Paste	Strg+V	paste the selected scene	like EXCEL "paste row"
Delete	Del(Entf)	delete the selected scene	like EXCEL "delete row"
Renumber Cues			Renumber Cues
Cue Timing Editor			a separate editor is opened

Funktion	Beschreibung	Kommentar
Tracking	If Tracking is active a value remains until it is overwritten by another cue (or the cue list is finished). If tracking is disabled, only the values are output that is stored in the current cue. All others are faded out.
Reset when Released	Cue List jumps to first entry, after last cue was executed
Use Cue Time as Back Time	With a jump back in the Cue List, the times of the cues are used for the crossfade.
Use Cue Time as GoTo Time	With a jump forward in the Cue List, the times of the cues are used for the crossfade.
Autoprepare	DMXControl prepares headlights already automatically on the mission (color and gobo is selected in advance etc.). That way you will not need to worry about it.

Excercise

Test the append and subtract cue functions

I have understood the topics of this lecture and want to continue with next course: Lesson 13
