- MagicQ lighting programmers preparing show files
- Worth noticing
- The DMX planner offers three fixture-allocation schemes, with CSV and PDF exports alongside downloadable .shw files.
Field notes
The workflow starts with an uploaded MagicQ show or a new one, then guides users through fixture placement, patch planning, effect choices, and review. The interface includes options such as virtual dimmers for RGB fixtures without dimmers, movement-speed and size faders, and separate controls for hazers. It lists downloadable show files and patch exports; generated results should be checked in MagicQ and a visualizer before a show.
