Videos in shows

[morrisonstreet]

I know some people add video segments to their shows, but I'm wondering how to trigger them. Does the LOR software have that capability or is it just an on/off trigger. I'm just thinking that if I have video on a laptop hooked to a projector, how to get it to work within a show.

Any ideas?

From the "Help" in the LOR Sequencer:

Video Preferences Musical sequences are associated with a song or other sound effect, from either an audio file (such as an MP3) or a video file (such as a WMV file). If a musical sequence is associated with a video file, Light-O-Rama can display the video during play. Or, for an audio file, Light-O-Rama can display a visualization.
The Video Preferences dialog, of the Preferences submenu of the Sequence Editor'sEdit menu, can be used to control whether and how video is displayed during play.

Note: These settings affect not only play of sequences in the Sequence Editor, but also play of shows by the Show Player.

The following options can be set via the Video Preferences dialog:

· Display Videos · Display Audio Visualizations · Use Full Screen Mode · Select Monitor

The Video Preferences dialog

Show Videos " is enabled on the Video submenu of the View menu, and a musical sequence based on a video file is played by the Sequence Editor, Light-O-Rama will display the video during play.

You can control whether "Show Videos" is enabled by default via this setting on the Video Preferences menu. This also affects play during shows, by the Show Player.

Great! I guess I could have looked that up in help, I just wasn't sure it could do it at all. Thanks for the help!
