Colour Code Scene Tabs

Post by Studio-dbfx »

Hi Eric,

Would it be possible to add a feature to colour code the scene tabs? :D

I've thought about it, but it's tricky because they already need to be colored for the Playlist. I haven't come up with a good solution yet.

Ah! Okay, Thanks Eric! Because sometimes a few scenes are related to each other, and colouring coding would help knowing which ones belong to each other, and which ones are required for the playlist.

also Is there a way to turn off the automatic timing in the playlist? when changing the time for a scene or to lock the time when it's been set, for example.... I do a rough timing guide with a few scenes in the playlist, then I add more modules to the playlist to make it more interesting. But when I change time in the new scene other modules below it also change time.

Have you tried using the Folder Panel? It's really the best method for organizing your scenes. https://magicmusicvisuals.com/downloads ... FolderView

Sorry I'm not sure what you mean by the automatic timing. Can you provide a screenshot or two?

Thanks Eric, I will try the folder method. :D

Auto Advanced Start Time

In the first screenshot when I change the time of the scene 'Verse' for example, the second screenshot all the timings below that scene have been automatically changed. I like to use a few scenes as 'Key Frames' when I do a rough playlist, then add more scenes and build when needed.

Ok I think I understand. I'm pretty sure I looked at this a while ago and there was some issue with it, but I'll make a note to take another look.

Auto Advanced Start Time

The automatic time feature is still useful when adjustments are needed for a whole playlist when exporting video. Only suggesting if it's possible to turn off that feature when creating/editing a playlist.
