Building pictures

Everything so far has been about playing material that already exists. This part is about making something: a composition of several sources, a countdown to the start, a filter over the whole output.

All of it is in the base program. What a module adds on top — song pages, name plates, subtitles — belongs to that module’s documentation.

PageWhat it covers
The scene builderPutting several sources together as one scene.
FiltersOver one source, or over everything a playout sends.
The clock sourceCounting down, counting up, or showing the time.
Templates and the designerHow saved designs work, and which ones you will see.

The one thing to know first

The scenes you build here are private to the playout. They do not appear in the engine’s own scene list, and the engine’s scenes do not appear here. That keeps the operator’s world to one list of scenes — the ones this show uses.
