Animating scenes 

Create a movie of scene settings to preview the cue transition between the scenes. The contents of the active window, exactly as they display, are used to create the movie. Therefore, the images must be rendered before animating the scenes to accurately preview the lighting effect. These features cannot be used to accurately render all the lighting devices on the stage for every scene.

6.If desired, the scene can be edited by clicking the Edit Scene button. Change the Scene Name, Scene Number, Up Time and Down Time. The Up Time and Down Time used to animate the scenes is taken from the End Scene.

7.To create the animation, enter the scene Hold for time in seconds for both the starting and ending scenes.

8.Edit the movie settings by clicking the Video Settings button. The Video Settings dialog box opens.

Click to show/hide the parameters.
