5.2. Live editing your show Everybody needs to edit their show live at some point- whether it’s making a temporary override, using some performance efects, or making a permanent adjustment to a scene parameter. Daslight 5 makes all of this possible and easy to do with many ways to produce the desired outcome! Creating permanent edits to a scene When performing your show live, you may notice something you want to change. To do this, you can enable ‘Edit’ mode, then select the scene as usual. Doing this however will override the show that is currently running. If you want to block the DMX output of the scene currently being edited, you can click the ‘Blind Edit’ button (shown as an eye symbol) found between the ‘Edit’ and ‘Live’ mode button. When ‘Edit’ or ‘Blind Edit’ mode is enabled, the changes you make to the scene parameters or fxture channels will be saved into the scene so that whenever you recall the scene again, the changes made are present.

Creating temporary edits to a scene To create temporary edits to a scene, known as a ‘live edit’, you will need to have the Live editing setting enabled. Then, select some fxtures and begin adjusting Features/Faders. You will notice that instead of the usual green dot that appears above an edited fader/feature- there is now a yellow dot instead, indicating that this is a ‘live’ edited channel. The values set will stay at the value you set until a scene which uses the same channel is triggered. Live edits are not stored in scenes, but rather layered over the top of scenes.You can reset a live edit by clicking on one of the 2 Reset buttons on the live toolbar:

1. Reset All Beams : resets all live edits in the show.
