Undo and redo

Take back an edit to the show, or bring it back again. Undo works on the show, the thing described in Shows and show files.

Before you start

• Undo covers every edit to the show: shots, elements and their effects, layers, sources, the transition, a layer setup put in, a script import, dismissed warnings.
• Undo never changes what is live. A Take, Fade to Black and the show clock are actions on air, not edits.
• This Mac’s preferences are not edits either: the look, the appearance, layer heights and the transition presets.

Step 1: Undo

Choose Edit › Undo or press ⌘Z. The menu item names what it takes back, for example Undo Move Element. Press again to go further back.

The show has one history for all its windows: ⌘Z in the Preview window, Audio Routing or the Showrunner undoes the last edit to the show, wherever you made it.

Step 2: Redo

Choose Edit › Redo or press ⇧⌘Z to bring back what you undid.

Step 3: Send the result to the program

An undo that touches a live shot changes the preview only, as every edit does. The tile says EDITED; press Take to send the version you want to the program.

Verify

• The change is gone from the preview and the inspector.
• The program shows what it showed before, until you take.
