Is there a way to see the show on the computer

I wonder if anyone can help me on this.

Is there a way to build a show, and then see the whole show

on the computer in the Visualizer window?

I have built the show but need to get my timing down to the second,

I know you can see each sequence in the visualizer,

but how about the whole show..

My computer is not plugged into the controllers.

Any help is appreciated

Thanx

yes....do a "Show On Demand" (browse for the show you want to run) and make sure you have the Use LOR Visualizer checked in the Control Panel..

Thanx for the reply.

Sorry, that doesn't work..

I do have the 'Use the LOR Visualizer' checked,

but when I go to start the show, an error box comes,

evidently looking for the controllers.

Like Open error, Port such and such.

any other hints,

Thanx'

do you have your Sequence Editor open? You can't have it or anything else using the port open...

I'll try rebooting the computer and trying again.

I did close the visualizer, but no affect

thanx

sorry..you can and need the Visualizer open..just don't have anything else open that needs and uses a port..like the Sequence Editor...

and you have the Visualizer in "Simulation Mode"?

hmmm...my controllers are hooked up...maybe that's why mine work and yours don't...

I don't know if that is a requirement or not...

My computer is not plugged into the controllers.

Does this mean you are running the show via a Mini-Director or Showtime Director? If so, then there is no way to watch the show from the director 'live' on your computer.

If you were to connect a USB485 to your computer, you could enable shows and watch what the computer would be doing if you were controlling it from your computer. That still won't show you what is playing from the Director, though.

Righty, right then.

I am using a mini director that an SDHC card plugs into.

So no show available then on the computer.

I wondered if the program could do this, but seems not.

Thanx for the help guys, much appreciated

Only option that might work is open all sequences in editer and then play all sequences when you then you should see it your visualization. You might need to use a stop watch to get the timing down.
