If you think it, you can write it. Hand write notes on any Script you import, and write in your custom bookmarks you made on the Timeline for you to quickly reference.

The controls for the Camera are intuitive no matter which view you are working in! Orbit: drag one finger Strafe: drag two fingers Pinch to Zoom: pinch or spread to fingers

First, create a New Project. Name it. Create a New Performance. Choose a Venue. Name the Performance. Then you will be taken to the venue in the 2D view, where you can begin creating your vision.

Yes, you can! Duplicating a Performance or a Project is the easiest way to ensure everything in your productions are always available to you, whether you're trying something different, or simply want another copy. Double tap the Project or Performance you want to duplicate, then tap on the duplicate button. You will now see a duplicate of that Performance or Project.

A Performance can be as long as you need it to be. From first acts, to Super Bowl Halftime Shows. Just keep in mind that the larger your performance gets, the longer it can take to load. Breaking up a whole show into individual Performance files can help to reduce loading times.

The answer is how many Performances can you create for the world to see?

The easiest way for you to make some changes like this, is to Duplicate and Rename, so you don't lose track of the original creation. Once you do this, you can then hop into whichever Performance or Project you want to edit, and begin evolving your creation!

For the best way to ensure proper continuity moving forward without the hassle of recreating everything, we always suggest you Duplicate the performance, and delete the Timeline data as you see fit. That way, everything is still there where you need it. To delete the timeline data, tap the trash can next to any Performer or Asset to delete all the Timeline data for that specific Performer or Asset. (How do we answer this now, knowing we dont have performer carry over? PS)

Not to a Performer, necessarily. Once you have imported a model into your Asset Library, all you have to do is drag it from the Library into the 2D space, and it will have its own spot in the Asset Tab of the Timeline. Your Assets are actually their own version of performers in your production. (assets are Performers? This confuses me a bit, and do we want to correlate them, which may cause confusion to the User? PS)

In short : Select Performer(s). Press and Hold. Lift. Record. To record a Path for a Performer, select the Performer(s) you want to start recording for. Once selected, Press and Hold on one of the Performers for two seconds then lift, or let go, and the Red Recording P button will appear in the upper left of the screen. When you press and drag on the desired Performer(s), you will then begin recording for the selected Performer(s).

Pre-Pro™ has Multi-Select: an intuitive feature to help with making sure can manipulate or record multiple Performers and Assets at the same time. Record once, applied to all.

The image applied will be as long as the Path recording it is assigned to.

The effects of BackDrop™ render the background away in videos you have imported. Bring your production to a new reality. Record. Import. BackDrop. Pre-Pro.

Any sound attached to the video during the import process will remain attached to the video, no matter where you use it in Pre-Pro™. Every video brought into the Timeline on a Performer's path, will be Muted by default. If you want to hear your video, simply double tap the media attached, and tap the mute button. That specific video on that Path will now be unmuted. Unmuting this specific video will not unmute other videos in Pre-Pro™™, even if you have used them in multiple Performances or Projects.

For iPhone videos to work in Pre-Pro™™, you must make a small change to your camera settings with these simple steps: Go to Settings. Scroll down and select Camera. Select Formats. Then change the Camera Capture from High Efficiency to Most Compatible. Now you're all set to begin recording on your phone and easily import into your Pre-Pro™ Universal Library.

In Pre-Pro™ you can Drag and Drop your Audio, Videos, and Images onto a specific Path node for any Performer in the Timeline.

In Pre-Pro™, Video and Images are attached to the beginning of the Path Node they are placed on. If you want to change the location of that video, simply "Double Tap" the video above the Path Node in the Timeline and Delete it. Edit the timing of your Path Node, then Reapply the Video onto the Path Node.

ProCube is your new best friend when it comes to creating your virtual environment. You can customize the ProCube in a number of different ways: from the dimensions, color, texture and opacity. It is a visual cube you can use as a building block for creating your venue or custom backlot.

ProCube provides exciting opportunities to easily create boxes for risers, flattened planes for wings, walls, drops and curtains. You can create entire studios by quickly and easily building walls and applying panoramic backdrop views to the ProCube surfaces.

Simply drag a ProCube into your venue space from the Asset library on the Pallete. Next, double tap the ProCube, then tap the ProCube Properties icon on top. Now that you're in the ProCube properties menu, you can place an image or a color on the whole thing, or each individual side… and just like that you have your own virtual Backlot. Imagine the possibilities!

The user can put textures or images on either the whole ProCube, or individual custom sides of it, by double tapping on the ProCube you desire. Then tap the Cube Properties button. Here you can edit the whole ProCube, or select Custom Sides to edit each individual side of the ProCube! Enhance your background, or create your virtual backlot; ProCube has your back!

The Scaling Wizard is the process that allows you to have anything in Pre-Pro™ correct to its real-life scale. Once you import, simply drag the green line, and enter what you think that green line is worth in feet. (Ex??) Your newly scaled object is now available to use anywhere in Pre-Pro™.

Pre-Pro™ is set in Feet and decimals of a foot. Ex. 1 being 1ft., 1.5 being 1' 6".

The Floor Image icon is under the Venue tools button on the Palette. It is there for you to apply a certain image, or PDF to your venue floor. Need to see the blueprints before you have a model? Apply a PDF on the floor of one of our Presets and rough draft some ideas. Need to put an actual texture or image as the floor to further finalize your virtual backlot? Apply any image, from wood planks, to paving stones, to clouds, and within seconds it's there.

There really is no preset limit to Venue size. (not sure how to answer this without saying, if it doesnt work, it doesnt work PS)

Where did it go?! Don't worry, we found it for you. Simply go to what you need in the Timeline and Double Tap its name. The tools will appear in 2D mode, allowing you to raise and interact with it.

While we are always expanding our efforts to include every kind of format, Pre-Pro™ needs you to use .FBX, or .OBJ files when importing either Assets, or Venues.

The Floor Image tool is represented at the Venue's 0ft. Please make sure your Venue has a Floor value of 0ft when creating it, so it can be exported and imported into Pre-Pro™ properly.

If this is happening, then it may be because there is a "roof" on your model which may need to be eliminated. Sometimes it can look invisible, as if you have no roof on your venue, but there may still be one there, which will need to be eliminated in order for anything to be dropped onto the floor when brought into the Venue.

There are two specific files which work with Pre-Pro™ ! These two files include: .FBX and .OBJ files. *Depending on the model, either one may work better for it.

The Numberline is a tool used to help you refine your creative vision along precise coordinates which can be helpful for you, or anyone involved along the process of your creation. Adjust the length, color, and even its position in the Venue Tools on the Palette.

In order to to apply a Floor to the venue, you must first be in a performance. Open the Palette and tap on the Venue Tools icon. From there you can tap on the button marked Floor Image, select, or import an image using our Scale Wizard to adjust the size. Once selected, hit the check mark and your floor will instantly appear in both 2D and 3D mode.

If there is an image selected, You can always select it within the 2D space by tapping on the Floor and repositioning it. If you would like to resize it, you must reimport the Floor Image and use a different scale in the Scaling Wizard.

Nodes can be aligned by individually tapping the center of the node dragging to change it's location in the timeline. Once selected you can drag either end to stretch or shrink to make the path move faster or slower.
