Bring shots along

Let a shot bring other layers’ shots along, such as Daniel’s camera with his lower third, so one press puts both on. See Brings Along for how it works.

Before you start

• Open a show with shots on at least two layers, such as a camera on one and a lower third on another.

Step 1: Choose what the shot brings along

Select the shot, such as Daniel’s camera. In the inspector’s Shot section, under Brings Along, choose Add Shot… and pick a shot from another layer, such as his lower third. Add more from other layers if you like: one per layer.

The shot’s tab gets a yellow lamp for each. To take one off the list, click the cross beside it.

Step 2: Press the shot with what it brings along

Click the shot’s tab, on the right of its tile. The shot and what it brings along go to the preview together; press Take to send them all. With Auto Live on, they go live at once.

To	Do
Press the shot alone	Click its picture
Swap alone and with	Hold ⌥ while you click
Go live with what it brings along	Double-click the tab, or select the shot and press ⌥⌘Return
Send it to the preview with what it brings along	Select the shot and press ⌥⇧Return
Do the same from the Stream Deck	Hold the shot’s key; see Held keys

Verify

• Pointing at the tab outlines the shots it brings along in yellow and black dashes, like caution tape, in Light and Dark alike.
• After the press, their tiles say PREVIEW, or LIVE with Auto Live on, and the lamps in the tab turn green or red with them.
• Click the picture alone later: the shot changes, and a lower third that is still live stays.
