COPY / CUT / PASTE / DUPLICATE

You can copy or cut any selection on the Script and paste it in any other cue or selection of cues with automatic time reset to the inserted cue.

With Visual Show Director you can Copy selections of cues at different times and Paste them in different cues or selections of cues at different times.


First: make a Selection.
If you don't know how to select multiple cues, please refer to Selection Strategies


To Copy

Press Ctrl+C, select command from Menu or click the related Icon in the toolbar

To Cut

Press Ctrl+X, select command from Cues Menu or click the related Icon in the toolbar. Cut will take off the cues from the Script and store them temporarily in the Clipboard

To Paste

Make first a selection of one or Multiple Cues. Press Ctrl+V, select command from Cues Menu or click the related Icon in the toolbar.

to Duplicate

Press Ctrl+D, select command from Cues Menu or click the related Icon in the toolbar.
When you are duplicating more than one time, a cue that is part of a group of cues with the same time, make sure that after duplicating it, the cursor always moves back to the first cue, which may be a different effect than the one you want to duplicate. To avoid this problem:

  • Use Copy Paste commands, or
  • Create a sort named “Duplicating” with Time as value 1 and Cue as value –2 (descending). The last cue duplicated will go up and be selected, and you will be able to continue with the duplicate operation.



You can now also Copy, Cut and Paste text within cells or from other application. Highlight the text string and, clicking on it with the right button of the mouse, opens the edit Menu.
