Working with Playlists

Playlists are a list of exported illumination data from sequences that you can place in a play order. You can then add playlists into a schedule.

Before a song can be added to a playlist, the illumination data must be exported.
Click Output -> Select Output Method and Compile for Show.
Verify all universes are assigned to hardware appropriately.
In the bottom right, click the Export Illumination Data button (see Figure 9-12).
- Check the Disable Dimming Curves box if you want to ignore any applied dimming curves.

A window will open listing any master/submaster lighting channels (see Figure 9-13).
If you wish these lighting channels to be applied to the export, click the Active box.

Once all options have been completed, the export completion confirmation will show (see Figure 9-14).
Repeat these steps for ALL sequences you wish to use in your playlist.

Click Select Export File to Play.
This will list all of the sequences with exported illumination data (see Figure 9-16).
Select the desired file and click ok.
The selected file will now be listed next to the Export button (see Figure 9-15).
Adjust the Seconds Delay after Song Ends field to the desired time delay.
Click Add Song to List to add the song to your playlist with the specified delay.
Continue doing this until all songs are added to your playlist.
- If you wish the songs to play randomly, click the Random checkbox.
When complete, click OK.

To play a selected playlist, click Output -> Play Specific Playlist (see Figure 9-17).
- Note: You cannot have a sequence open to perform this action.
Click Select Playlist and select the desired playlist.
Select Play Now and click the Play Now button.
