About Event List

The Event List is very useful with semi-scripted and semi-automated live productions.

A semi-scripted talk show is an example of using an Event List during a live production. There may be a specific number of guests coming on set in a specific order, and each has a clip to show and a lower third with their name and biographical information about each. You can step through each production element for each guest by pressing the Take button.

The operator is free to continue cutting the live show or go back to the Event List and resume taking the production elements in sequence, at any time.

Place production elements within Event List in the order you wish to take them to air, layered over background. A production element in the list with a red border means the production element is on-air. A production element highlighted green will be taken next in the sequence. By pressing the red Take button, the production element is live and the next production element in the sequence is highlighted green and ready.
