Introduction to Video in QLab for Designers
Step into the world of video design with QLab. QLab is a reliable and flexible way to design and run your projections. In this workshop we will focus on the introductory basics for designers brand new to QLab. A hands on workshop with project files provided, you will have the chance to work through four prominent topics for beginners: understanding the user interface and what QLab is capable of, learning how to patch projectors and navigate the settings panel, basic mapping functionality/how to plan for and work with masks in your design, and programming events to align with your cue list. QLab is an approachable and affordable solution for presenting projected media in the theatres big and small! If you’re a novice at video design exploring the world of QLab for the first time, or an intermediate video designer interested in bringing your workflow from another software into the QLab context, this workshop will equip you with the knowledge and skills to elevate your productions with QLab’s video capabilities.
