Grab the popcorn. Dim the lights. The first teaser for the all-new PreShow Experience 1.0 has arrived. The teaser is a screen recording shown at 3× speed to provide a quick look at what the new PreShow can create. PreShow Experience has been rebuilt from the ground up with one main goal: make it easier to create and enjoy a personalized theater experience while improving the advanced capabilities longtime users want. This is more than a visual refresh. The new version introduces: A guided setup

Bug Report preShow Experience Version: 0.3.2.1 Module: Trivia Severity: High — potential loss of unsaved sequence changes Summary The Preview feature is very useful because it allows individual modules to be tested without having to run through the entire sequence. For most modules, pressing ESC while previewing exits the preview and returns to the Sequencer as expected. However, the Trivia module behaves differently. When Trivia is launched using Preview and ESC is pressed to exit, preShow Expe

Curious if there’s a way to program a sequence action or other method to advance to the next item based on a specific clock time. Here’s the scenario I run into: we program outdoor movies in our park, and the schedule needs to be pretty precise. We typically run a 30-minute block of trivia while people get situated, followed by a 9-minute theater intro, with the feature film starting right at 8:00 PM. That means I need to start the sequence at exactly 7:21 PM to keep everything on schedule. The

Hello,
We’ve run into a portability issue when creating sequences in PreShow Experience on a desktop or non-media-server player.
Currently, PreShow stores all media references as absolute file paths tied to the original machine. This means that if we move a PreShow project folder to another server or workstation, the sequence breaks because the media paths still point to the original device location.
This creates unnecessary extra steps when deploying sequences for:
Short films
Theatre intros
Touring productions
Multi-server installations
Instead of simply moving the PreShow project folder and relinking a single base directory, we have to manually update or recreate paths due to the absolute references.
Requested Feature
It would be extremely helpful if PreShow could support relative file paths for media content.
For example:
When setting a content directory in PreShow, the software would treat that folder as the base path.
All media within the sequence would then be referenced relative to that base folder, rather than to an absolute system location.
When moving the project to a new machine, we would only need to update the base content directory once.
Benefits
Improved portability between systems
Easier deployment to media servers
Cleaner project structure
Reduced setup time for touring or distributed environments
Fewer broken media links
This enhancement would significantly streamline workflow and reduce errors when moving projects between machines.
Thank you for considering this request.
