Selecting timelines
The timeline picker on the toolbar will be populated with every timeline in the project, select from the pull-down list
to open a timeline for editing. Use Ctrl (Apple) + Tab to select the next timeline, Shift + Ctrl + Tab the previous.
Copying timelines
Timelines can be copied using the Copy Timeline button, the copy is a brand new instance that operates inde-
pendently, useful for creating similar timelines.
Deleting timelines
Timelines can be deleted using the Delete Timeline button, a warning dialog will you prompt you to confirm. Note
that there must be at least one timeline in the project.
Maintaining indefinite output
There are two ways of maintaining a timeline’s output beyond the end of the last preset. This is a particularly
important feature for architectural use where a simple wall panel could be used to recall “scenes” at random which
would remain active indefinitely until another is recalled:
Hold
Press the Hold button to prevent the timeline from releasing at the end (the default). Presets will remain active
until overridden, effects and media will continue to play. Press the button again to reinstate the release.
Loop
Press the Loop Timeline button to make a timeline loop indefinitely. This is useful if you want to loop a sequence
of presets. Press the button again to remove the loop.
It's also worth noting that a Timeline Running condition won't detect timelines that are holding at end. A Timeline
On Stage condition will detect a looping or held at end timeline as long as the timeline is affecting the output of at
least one fixture. Timeline Started and Timeline Ended triggers will match whenever a looping timeline loops. A
Timeline Ended trigger will never match a timeline that is holding at end.
