Just notice in the live masterbeam window you can now select pages of cues, has anyone built a multipage live show or know of any easy way to copy or merge show together?
Also been looking for the same info for standard timelines. I have 70 some event lines that are in a show that I'd like to copy to another. Thanks
You can just copy-paste events in between shows. Using ctrl+c and ctrl+v works, as well as right clicking and copying all events to clipboard, and paste them in the other show. Works when you have two instances of LSX active, and when you load another show.
There is one big caveat however: the .cat file doesn't get adapted. I guess the easiest way would be to open each Animation event and go to the Animation tab (the last tab, not the Animation setup tab), then click the "From CAT Sequence" button. This will place all pic files in this tab and use it as the source of the frame instead of the pic files from the show's catalog. Once copied, you can click "To CAT Sequence" to place the files back. The program should automatically pick (an) empty slot(s) in the catalog and set the begin and end picture accordingly.
Also make sure the events don't overwrite slots in the catalog, such as the Live, Clock, Tennis, Rend2Frame, RunText etc. events...
Finally when copying to a live show, make sure the events get aligned correctly. When a key is active, events will snap to the begin- and end time on the timeline, so select the first empty cue, then copy all events while snapping the first event to its correct place.
Maybe there are easier ways though... You could convert all effects to a Loop and then save it, then reload it in the new show, but that sounds more of a workaround.
Thanks didn't know I could have 2 instances open at once.
