How do I edit the digital scenery?

Great question! Stage Player gives you the freedom to customize the way the digital scenery works with your production. You have the ability to both eliminate and duplicate content, reorder where things are, and customize the text that displays in the cue sheet. All of these changes can be accessed through the "Settings" button found on the show in your Stage Player library. Please note that any changes you make are device specific and will not transfer to another device even when using the same license.

This "Settings" button will display collection-wide settings:

  1. Blackout Settings (at the end of Curtain Warmer, Scenes, and/or Acts)
  2. Curtain Warmer Settings (the ability to choose between the Show Curtain Warmer, the App Master, or one that you upload)
  3. Show "Edit Cues" button

Show Edit features, main display:

  1. Green Buttons: These buttons take you down to the next level of the script breakdown. For example while at the Act level, it will bring you to the Scene level. Then from Scene to Cues. At the Cue level, "Label" enables you to customize the Cue Description, Cue Line, and Script Page Number.
  2. Red Buttons (Hide/Disable): When you click the "Disable" button, the respective Act, Scene, or Cue will be turned off, removed from the cue sheet, and not included in your final performance material.
  3. Gray Duplicate Button: The Act, Scene, or Cue that you duplicate will create an exact copy and place it in the sequence right next to the original.

Show Edit features, top menu:

  1. Save: The Save button will commit your changes and keep you on the current level. Anytime this button is green, that means there is something to save. Be sure to click this button anytime it is green to save your progress. A gray save button means that everything has been saved to your device.
  2. Save & Exit: This button will commit your changes and take you to the level up from where you are. Anytime this button is green, that means there is something to save. Be sure to click this button anytime it is green to save your progress. A gray save & exit button means that everything has been saved to your device.
  3. Sort/Edit: Sort gives you the ability to reorder and sort the Act, Scene, or Cue. When you click the "Sort" button it will change to "Edit" and, each Act/Scene/Cue at that level will begin to shake, almost like an iPhone app. You can then drag and drop any content to it's desired place. When finished, click the Edit button to commit to your re-ordering changes.
  4. Back/Cancel: If no changes were made, or if you don't want to save the changes you have made, clicking the back/cancel button will take you to the level up from where you are. Continuing to click it will bring you back to the main library menu.
