Importing ETC Element Show file to Offline Editor

[ligonnp]

Hello all,

I'm working on a national tour right now and am trying to import a show file from an ETC Element (that is no longer with us) into the ETC offline editor so that I can print out a cue sheet to implement the design in venues which don't have a similar ETC console. I went to "Import" on the Offline Editor but it won't access my files so I can import the .esf file.

My second question is about importing a show from an Element to a Strand 520 (the console in our next venue). Can I use my USB to import the show into that console or will there be issues because the consoles are different?

Thank you!

Hello, Ligonnp,

You don't need to import it- you can just open it. Offline uses the same .esf file type that the consoles uses, allowing you to move between the two with the exact same file.

I hope this is helpful.

Thank you!
