Shotbox

A Shotbox is the third form of Playback Provider next to Sequence and Playlist

...and the quickest way to cast content onto your output screens

... with just one drag and one click.

 

Imagine a Playback Provider that is neither Sequence nor Playlist but more so resembles a sampling pad or a StreamDeck, where content is put in little boxes that play back the instant you tap on them.

Playing A Shotbox

A Shotbox can host any number of track-like Slots.

The Slot, in turn can host one or more ClipContainers.

The timely order in which Slots are triggered affects the sorting of your content on the Z-axis.
E.g. In order to display Slot4 in the background and Slot2 in the foreground, you need to trigger Slot4 first and then Slot2.
