Adding Content To A Show; Using The Sequence Floatoid; Using The Sequence Cursor - ScanSoft Kai’s Power SHOW User Manual

Adding Content to a Show

One of the main uses of the Sort Room is
to add content to the Sequencer. The
Sequencer is where you sequence your
show order.
The Sequencer and Nano Sequencer display your
show slides in order.
There are two ways of adding content to
the Sequencer: adding content in groups
using the Sequence Floatoid, or by adding
content file by file, using the Sequence
cursor.

Using the Sequence Floatoid

The Sequence Floatoid lets you add one or
a group of selected thumbnails to the
Sequencer. The Floatoid is the quicker
way of adding content to your show.
Using the Floatoid, content is added from
left-to-right and from top-to-bottom,
into the Sequencer at the insertion point
designated by the Current Frame
Indicator in the Nano Sequencer.

To add thumbnails to the Sequencer
using the Floatoid:
1. Select a group of thumbnails on the
desktop. The Sequence Floatoid
automatically appears.
When you select one or more thumbnails, the
Sequence Floatoid automatically appears.
2. Click the Floatoid. The selected
thumbnails are added to the
Sequencer.
If there are already frames in the
Sequencer, the new thumbnails are
inserted at the position of the Current
Frame Indicator.

Using the Sequence Cursor

The Select control lets you adjust the
behavior of the cursor so that every time
you click a thumbnail, it is added to the
Sequencer. Thumbnails are added in the
order you click them. The first thumbnail
you click is added to the first available
frame of the show, and so on.
The Sort control's Sequence cursor lets
you visually sequence the content on our
desktop. As you click a thumbnail, it's
added to the Sequencer, and grayed out
on the desktop. This helps you determine
which thumbnails are part of the current
show and which are not.
Since adding content this way is so visual,
it is important to have an adequate
number of thumbnails on the desktop
sorted into usable piles.
If all the frames in the Sequencer are full,
it automatically scrolls to reveal an
additional frame when you click another
thumbnail.
Items added to the Sequencer also appear in the
Nano Sequencer.
