Show editor

The show editor is where you prepare one show. You edit the draft here; the Studio sees only what you publish. Open it from the Shows page.

The top bar

Find a section or part… filters the script. Import Script Version reads a new version of the script into the draft. Spelvin (⌥S) opens the chat about this show. A chip per linked Mac shows its name and the version it pulled. Publish Version N publishes the draft. See Publish a version and Chat.

The header

The show’s title, its date and start time, and its links (a live deck, a poll, a document). Chips give the stage, Draft differs with what changed, the section names Spelvin suggested, and the readiness meters.

The Script tab

List and Run of Show are two views of the same script. The list is the script itself, written together in the script editor: the outline on the left, the sections in order beside it, and beside them the Checks and the Files card. Text sets how the script reads for you. In each section:

• The head: its number, title, planned time and start time, and who edits it: Showrunner when nobody is assigned, else their names, You edit in your colour for your own. Click the title for the section’s fields, where a showrunner chooses its editors under Who edits it. See Invite people.
• Name suggested by Spelvin, with Keep Name, when the script had no heading here.
• The words, with the parts, slides, script tags and notes as tags in the text. Type // for a tag; click one for its fields. See Insert a tag.
• You edit and a bar in your colour on a section that is yours; Read only on one that is not.

Checks says what the script still lacks, and Files lists the files its tags play; a row goes to its tag, with Upload… for a missing file and Replace… for one that is there.

The run of show is the same script seen on the clock, read-only: the sections and their parts in time. A click on a part shows its words. Run of show is what event and sports crews call the timed list of a show; here it is drawn from the script, so it never drifts from the words.

See Script structure.

The Presenters tab

Every presenter the script names, their Title on the lower third, their photo and their parts. Title and photo fill the lower thirds.

The Files tab

Links lists the show’s web addresses, found in the script or added here. Files lists every file the show needs, with its status, Upload and Attach…. New Lower Third, New Matte Wipe and New Stinger open Spelvin’s builders. See Files.

The Remote Guests tab

One row per guest slot: the guest, their Title on the lower third, their note, and the state of their Guest Link, with Copy Guest Link, Send Invite, Revoke Link, Edit and Remove Slot. The form below adds a slot. Only a showrunner or an admin sees the links. See Remote guests.

The Versions tab

The unpublished draft at the top, then every published version with who published it, the note, the changes and the Macs that pulled it.

The Settings tab

Show: the title, the date and the Skill that reads a new script version. Save Settings keeps them. An admin also sees Delete Show.
