Undo and redo

Take back an edit to the show, or bring it back again. Undo works on the show, the thing described in Shows.

Before you start

• Undo covers every edit to the show: shots, elements and their effects, layers, sources, the transition, a layer setup put in, a script import, dismissed warnings.
• Undo never changes what is live. A Take, Fade to Black and the show clock are actions on air, not edits.
• This Mac’s preferences are not edits either: the appearance, layer heights and the transition presets.

Step 1: Undo

Choose Edit › Undo or press ⌘Z. The menu item names what it takes back, for example Undo Move Element. Press again to go further back.

The show has one history for all its windows: ⌘Z in the Preview window, Audio Routing or the Showrunner undoes the last edit to the show, wherever you made it.

Step 2: Redo

Choose Edit › Redo or press ⇧⌘Z to bring back what you undid.

Step 3: Send the result to the program

An undo that touches a live shot changes the preview only, as every edit does. The tile says EDITED; press Take to send the version you want to the program.

Verify

• The change is gone from the preview and the inspector.
• The program shows what it showed before, until you take.
