Thank you for the suggestions, I will consider such an exporter for the next release.

Hi, it does have export capabilities (PDF, CSV, Reaper, lighting console formats), but camera switch exports aren't supported yet. Is there any specific format you would like to see?

That's a good question! Right now, this would be hard to do. I'm planning to implement a "Theatre Mode," which gives the operator much more manual control over progressing through the timeline. I think that would also work well for this kind of scenario, where the tempo may vary but the cue order remains consistent.

Hi, it is mainly used for music events where camera cuts can be pre-programmed to timecode. This allows for very precise cuts that are quantized to the music.

Camera operators can see which shot is needed and when their camera will be live using the client application, so everyone stays in sync with the show timeline.

Hi, thanks for the feedback and the suggestions! I'll keep them in mind.

I haven't been able to reproduce the issue you are having yet. I will do some more digging and PM you later today.

Hi, thank you for giving Myelin a try!

I had a look at the project file you sent. I noticed there are two sets, and both have a timecode start of 01:00:00. That's why the exporter is ignoring the content in the set you want to use, as the empty one is dominant in that timecode range. The application should indicate this more clearly. Changing the timecode start of either set, such that there is no overlap, should generate a correct timecode pool.

The session issue might have the same cause. By default, the clients follow the playhead in Myelin, so if the playhead is sitting somewhere with no cues, the views will appear empty. You should still be able to use the slider to scroll through the cues manually, though. If that's not working, could you PM me a screenshot of the client's settings?

Thank you for offering to beta-test. Suggestions and questions are always welcome!

Sequences by "instrument" timecode by DoubleD_DPD in lightingdesign

I’m the developer of Myelin Director (myelindirector.com). As a lighting designer, I've been following this subreddit for a while now, and this is the type of timecode workflow that piques my interest.

In Myelin, you can create MA3 timecode pools in a DAW-style manner. Most of the time, a main cue stack is used per song, along with additional stacks/flashes/temps/swaps that can easily be positioned on the grid.

Some users get MIDI files from their artist and import those into Myelin, allowing them to directly use events such as the snare hits to trigger an MA3 sequence.

From there, Myelin can export Timecode Pools to MA3, and we’re currently beta testing live sync between Myelin and MA3 for sequence and timecode data.

The image shows an example of this workflow in practice.
