The Lighting Controller

Now THAT's food for thought! Thank you, Luc.

What I would like to do ideally is record to a timeline, which I can then tweak later, and then assign that timeline to a button for live use

Feedback - I like this software, particularly the 3D view which means I can program approximately without blinding myself :-D

Wishlist - I would love it if it was possible to record a live show as "tracks" into the timeline, which could then be edited and replayed later. Eg. Press "record" on ...

Thank you Luc. I installed the k-lite codec pack a few years ago and CAUSED a lot of problems! There's a fair bit of debate online about codec packs, but I think the consensus is it's less than ideal. Great that it worked for you, but I woudn't do it again.

Thank you for replying. I am using a PC running win7, generic graphics card. For my shows I usually use windows media player which I like as the window is easily resized to fit the screen by double-clicking.

Hi all. I'm a comedian and I use a big projector screen in my show. I've recently decided to add lighting and chose showxpress as it looks pretty easy to learn. I'm having problems with playing out video though...

If I move the Screen Control window to another monitor (the projector behaves as a ...
