• Selecting a line in the shot list does not send data to the camera operators. Use the space bar or enter key to “take” the shot, which means to send the selected shot data to the camera operators. 

• Use the up and down arrow keys to move the selected line up or down, then hit the space bar or enter key to send the data.

Notice that if you click on a line of the list or use the up/down keys to select a line, the highlight color will be the system highlight color (as selected in System Preferences > Appearance). It is suggested that you make the System highlight color something other than blue, so that the dark blue highlight of a shot which has been taken is clearly differentiated.

• To jump to a shot, use the number keys to enter the shot number, then hit enter. Hit enter again (or the space bar) to take the selected shot.

Use the escape key to cancel a jump after having hit any number key.

AUTOMATIC SWITCHER ADVANCE:

• When the function “Enable switcher advance” is selected, any transition from the switcher will trigger ShotDriver to take the next shot in the list (or the selected shot if you have selected an entry out of order). 

The goal is to make it as easy as possible for you to maintain correspondence between the actual “hot” shot and the current shot sent from ShotDriver, and to cope with situations which depart from the script.

• Use the command key to inhibit automatic advance by the switcher. 

Use the up or down arrow keys while pressing the command key to select the next shot to be taken automatically after you release the command key.

• A temporary hold can be programmed in a shot’s description which will inhibit automatic advance on switcher signals. Just enter “[HOLD]” into a shot description. When that shot is taken, an "OFF BOOK" hold is initiated and a yellow flashing box appears around the ““Enable switcher advance” checkbox. When the next shot is taken manually, automatic advance on switcher signals is re-enabled.

• Likewise you may press the "OFF BOOK" button to initiate a hold on automatic switcher advance until the next shot is taken manually.

PRINTING A SHOT LIST:

•Any number of cameras may be highlighted when printing paper copies of your shot list. Use the Highlight menu to set or clear highlights, and the printed version will look the same. The width of the list is automatically adjusted to fit to the page.

•When you print a shot list, page markers are automatically added to the shotlist, which are also saved with the file.

•Use the menu command File>Clear page numbers to clear previously recorded page numbers. Also, if the line-height of the shot list is changed, the page numbers are automatically erased.
