Vizzy Tips
Save the processed audio file to speed up launch: Audio
>
Save
Processed Audio.
(the next time you launch you can open
the
resulting .nw0 file).
Holding the 'Option' key down
suppresses frame rendering.
This makes cue adjustment more responsive.
Sliders with teal-colored handles can be set to default by
holding the
shift key while sliding.
Control-click or right-click (on a 3-button mouse)
brings up the menu bar.
Change a small-format script to large (and vice versa) with Project
> Shift
Script.
Things that make Vizzy run faster:
- showing fewer seconds of music (In the cue script, insert
State/Window instruction)
- shorter cue scripts
- lower framerates
