Introducing the Waveform Editor in ShowScript 1.0.30
We’re excited to announce a powerful new feature in ShowScript 1.0.30, the Waveform Editor. This intuitive graphical tool is designed to make scripting your shows faster, more accurate, and a whole lot smoother.
Visual Scripting, Frame-Perfect Precision
The new waveform view lets you overlay your audio directly in the timeline, giving you a real-time visual reference while you script. Simply hold Shift and click anywhere on the waveform to add a keyframe. ShowScript automatically calculates the exact frame based on the sequence’s FPS (frames per second), no more guessing or trial and error.
Instant Context with Hover and Click
Each vertical line represents a keyframe. Hover over any of them to instantly preview the code stored at that point. Want to check how a section sounds? Just click anywhere on the waveform to jump to that moment. Use your arrow keys to fine-tune your frame-by-frame navigation and hit the down arrow to snap back to your custom start marker.
Fullscreen Mode for Full Control
Need more space to focus? The Waveform Editor comes with a fullscreen mode, perfect for longer sequences or complex shows where overview is everything.
Also new in 1.0.30: Process Driver Support
In addition to the Waveform Editor, version 1.0.30 also introduces a brand-new Process driver. This powerful addition allows you to start and stop external processes directly from within ShowScript, opening up a wide range of integration possibilities.
Whether you want to trigger external scripts, launch supporting applications, or control external systems during your show, the Process driver makes it possible.
To help you get started, we've included a ready-to-use example project that demonstrates how to set up and use the new driver effectively.
