A well-structured showfile makes programming and operating lighting for worship services smoother and more efficient. Organizing workspaces, cue lists, palettes, and playbacks in a logical layout ensures quick access to important tools, making it easier for both programmers and volunteers to navigate.
Workspace and Layout Organization
Avolites allows for custom workspaces, which can be optimized based on user needs:
• Programming Workspaces – Typically set up across two screens, with one screen for fixture selection and another for effect programming. If using a single screen, these workspaces can be split into tabs.
• Operate Workspace – Designed for Sunday morning volunteers, containing only essential controls like cue playback, timecode monitoring, and intensity levels. This prevents accidental programming changes during a service.
• Utility Workspaces – Easily accessible for troubleshooting and integration with things like Avolites AI media servers.
Fixture Selection and Attribute Control
To keep fixture control intuitive:
• Fixtures are arranged based on real-world stage layout to match their physical positions.
• Groups are created in the Groups Window and copied to the Fixtures Window, saving workspace space.
• The Attribute Editor is used for quick adjustments, providing a large, detailed view instead of relying solely on encoder wheels.
Cue Storage and Palettes for Quick Programming
Cue lists, chases, and stored looks are organized in the Playbacks Window for easy recall.
Palettes are structured for consistency:
• Gobo & Beam Effects – Numbered in increments (Gobo 1, Gobo 2, etc.) for easy selection.
• Color Palettes – Three-tiered structure:
• Top Row – Fully saturated colors
• Middle Row – Slightly desaturated version
• Bottom Row – Pastel-like colors
