Lesson 12 Tut3

DMXControl 3 lessons

Overview

In this lesson we explain advanced edit features for scenes and scene lists, e.g. for modification of already saved scenes.

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 "Store 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 scenelist after marked scene	default: at the end
Insert	Strg+I	insert a new scene to scenelist after marked scene
Replace	Strg+R	replace current scene attributes by the values in the programmer
Merge	Strg+M	add a new scene to scenelist after marked scene
Append	Strg+P	add a new scene to scenelist after marked scene
Subtract	Strg+B	subtract current scene attributes by the values in the programmer
Update	Strg+U	no function yet

In similar way, there are also edit operations for the scene list itself. Like familar in EXCEL, you can copy, cut and delete whole rows.
