I'm really not sure what you're trying to do. So, as I understand it, you have one show file with everything, including a complete patch, and you just want to add the
scroller units into that show file from a separate show file? If so, that's pretty easy to do. From the Browser, go to File -> Merge and select your show file. Click "Advanced", and you will be able to select exactly which channels you want to take from Show File B into your
current show file.
If you're talking about just transferring the
scroller calibration into a new file, I'm not sure if I can help you with that. I've never been a huge fan of the
scroller calibration feature - no real reason, I just don't feel like it gives enough information about what has been calibrated and where. I tend to just record color palettes for all my frames, and calibrate to full frame manually when making palettes.
Ok. So what I understand is that you want to take the patching from one show and put in another.
- Start in the new show file (the one getting a new patch/calibration)
- Go to open the old show file (one with correct patch/calibration)
- Before clicking 'OK' in the "Do you really want to open file?" dialog, click "Deselect All"
- Click/select "Patch"
- Now click "OK"
- Check to make sure that the patch/calibration has been properly transferred
- Save the new file, and thank me
Actually, that's not even close. Your method will close the file he has open and open ONLY the patch data from the new file. So he won't have ANYTHING from Show File A, and the only thing in the
console will be the patch data from Show File B. You need to use Merge to take data from one show file and put it into another.
