Musical sequences are associated with a song or other sound effect, from either an audio file (such as an MP3) or a video file (such as a WMV file). If a musical sequence is associated with a video file, Light-O-Rama can display the video during play. Or, for an audio file, Light-O-Rama can display a visualization.
The Video Preferences dialog, of the Preferences submenu of the Sequence Editor's Edit menu, can be used to control whether and how video is displayed during play.
Note: These settings affect not only play of sequences in the Sequence Editor, but also play of shows by the Show Player.
The following options can be set via the Video Preferences dialog:
The Video Preferences dialog
If "Show Videos" is enabled on the Video submenu of the View menu, and a musical sequence based on a video file is played by the Sequence Editor, Light-O-Rama will display the video during play.
You can control whether "Show Videos" is enabled by default via this setting on the Video Preferences menu. This also affects play during shows, by the Show Player.
If "Show Audio Visualizations" is enabled on the Video submenu of the View menu, and a musical sequence based on an audio file is played by the Sequence Editor, Light-O-Rama will display a visualization of the audio during play.
You can control whether "Show Audio Visualizations" is enabled by default via this setting on the Video Preferences menu. This also affects play during shows, by the Show Player.
If "Full Screen" is enabled on the Video submenu of the View menu, and a video or audio visualization is displayed for a musical sequence being played by the Sequence Editor, Light-O-Rama will display the video or visualization during play.
You can control whether "Full Screen" is enabled by default via this setting on the Video Preferences menu. This also affects play during shows, by the Show Player.
If you have more than one monitor hooked up to your computer, you can use this button to select which monitor Light-O-Rama will use when it displays videos or audio visualizations. This also affects play during shows, by the Show Player.
