Copying Script to a new show

I have two shows on July 4th and I am building duplicate shows, but the field setup is different. These are pyro-musical shows with the same song lineup. I would like to copy the script with the firing timing of effects from Show 1 to Show 2. I know I can copy individual or a group of effects. But when I paste them into the new show, the times do not copy and the shells are not in sync with the music.

I also tried to copy the rows from the Script window from Show 1 to Show 2 but I cannot paste them into the Show 2 Script window. If the Script window performs like Excel, why can I not paste from one script to another?

Copying the effects and firing times from one show to another would save me so much time.

 

Thanks

You should be able to copy paste from one script to an other without any problems. What is the error here ? Do you not see the copied events ? Maybe the reason for this is an active filter on the script menu.

 

I would uses saveas to save show 1 as show 2. then i would create the different positions and move the events to the new positions and delete the old ones.

Hi Dirk,

I am not sure why I cannot paste from Script 1 to Script 2. When I right click on Script 2, I do not get a drop-down with any options, i.e. “Paste”

 

However, doing a “Save As”, saving Show 1 as Show 2 and moving the positions, could be a viable solution.

 

Thanks

Hi EhrlichFire, you can absolutely copy from one show to another. This forum topic may help: https://finale3d.com/groups/english/forum/topic/combining-shows/

 

The copy/paste functionality is designed to be very robust, here’s a technical article from our documentation: https://finale3d.com/documentation/copy-paste/
