Navigating the timeline

Within the Super Scene, you will see a few options above the timeline itself:

1. Play : This can be used to play the Super Scene. Play will resume from the green marker. You can also use the spacebar to play the Super Scene, or hold shift and click spacebar to play from the beginning of the Super Scene. 2. Allow block overlap : When enabled, dragging a scene block and dropping it overlapping another scene in the same track will cause the scene that is being overlapped to be truncated. When disabled you will not be able to drop one scene overlapping another in the same track, it will simply be dropped to either the immediate left or right of the other scene. 3. Snap to grid : When enabled, you will only be able to move a segment to the nearest grid line. When disabled, you will be able to move a segment to the nearest half of a grid line also. A scene can only be placed on a grid line that is a multiple of 0.04 seconds. 4. EDIT: *Super Scene name* : This can be used to set static values on selected fxtures. These values will trigger when the Super Scene is played, along with the timeline itself. 5. Zoom/scroll bar : This bar has two points of adjustment to adjust the zoom, one at each end. To zoom in/out, simply click one of the light grey dots and drag to adjust. You can scroll the timeline by dragging the middle section of the bar left or right. 6. Expand track : This button will appear at the far left of each track. Clicking this will show the Dimmer and Phasing automation options for scene tracks, or the Volume automation and waveform of an audio track. See ‘Track automation’ for further information. 7. Lock track : When enabled, the track will be locked. You can not make alterations to a locked track. 8. Hide track : When enabled, any scene segment on this track will not send any DMX output. 9. Play marker : The green marker will indicate the playback position of the Super Scene. The marker will move as the scene plays. If the scene is not playing, the green marker will indicate the starting position when playing the scene. 10. Endmarker : The grey marker indicates the end of the Super Scene. This marks the point where the Super Scene will loop. You can adjust the end point marker by clicking and dragging it.
