Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- A new show replaces the open one. If the open show is live, with something on the program, a recording or a stream, the Studio asks first, and its streams and recordings stop once you go on; see Closing a live show. It also offers to save unsaved changes.
- A show that follows a script written on the web can start from that web show: see From a web show below.

Section titled “Step 1: Open the New Show sheet”Choose File › New Show… (⌘N), or click New Show… at the foot of the Show Manager. New shows are made in the Show Manager: it comes forward with the New Show sheet on it.
Step 2: Name the show
Section titled “Step 2: Name the show”Type the show’s name in Name. It becomes the name of the show’s folder and of its show file. Leave it empty for “Untitled Show”.
Step 3: Choose where its folder goes
Section titled “Step 3: Choose where its folder goes”Where shows the place the Studio suggests: the last place you used on this Mac, or
~/Documents/Live Producer. To put it elsewhere, click Choose… and pick a folder.
Step 4: Choose what the show starts from

Set the show up from the script afterwards with Suggest Setup Changes… in the Script window.
