Opening Effect lanes and going back to the Studio
In Effect lanes you edit a show effect by effect on a timeline. You start in the Studio with a mood and then refine single spots in Effect lanes.
Step by step
- Open a show in the Studio (Autoloop, song or Static Look).
- Autoloop: Tap “Effect lanes” at the top right. The Studio preview stops and Effect lanes open with the same show. Song: Choose the “Everything” level at the top and the “Effect lanes” tool on the left.
- Edit the show: move clips, add effects, build new effects with the generator or in the effect studio.
- Save right here with “Save” at the top right. Or:
- Autoloop: Tap “Back” at the top left. Your changes come along to the Studio. Save there as usual.

- Look programmer: Static Looks like on a lighting consoleWhen you open a Static Look in Table, you get the look programmer: every fixture is a row, every channel a column – intensity, color, strobe, position, movement, gobo, prism, focus and everything else. Thru is hatched. On the right you set everything the selected fixtures can do – across all groups.Summary
- How Effect lanes are laid outEffect lanes have four areas: the preview at the top left, groups and tools on the right, and the timeline below. You save in the header at the top. For songs the lanes sit right in the Song Studio at the Everything level.Summary
- Editing lanes and clipsThe timeline shows one or more layers (lanes) per fixture group. Clips sit on them: colored bars that play an effect for a certain time.Summary
- Master lane and color palette changesThe master lane affects all fixture groups at once. Use it to set a base mood, e.g. a cool verse and a warm chorus, and add accents in the groups on top.Summary
- Editing one group or single fixturesWith many lanes the timeline fills up quickly. Group focus shows just one fixture group. With “Single fixtures” every fixture in the group gets its own timeline.Summary
