Create a Scene

What is a Scene?

A Scene is the heart of LiveEdit. It consists of a timeline filled with various tracks, each dedicated to a specific function—be it switching camera angles, displaying lyrics, or triggering effects. This timeline serves as the creative workspace where you assemble and refine the various elements to build the song's style.

Create a New Scene

1. Open the Playlist Panel by clicking on its icon located at the top of the sidebar.
2. Open the Playlist in which you want to create your scene by clicking on it once.
3. Click the "+ New Scene" button, located at the top left of the Playlist Panel.
4. Give your new scene a name and click the "OK" button. Your scene is then added to the playlist and will open immediately.
