What is a Scene?

In ScreenManager, scenes are powerful tools that allow you to design captivating visuals and set up intricate layouts for your digital signage screens.
Let's explore how you can leverage scenes to create dynamic content and multi-zone layouts that capture your audience's attention.

Scene vs Playlist

A playlist is simply a collection of content (media files and scenes) that play in a loop. While you can define a layout for the playlist, the design possibilities are quite limited.
In contrast, a scene offers a powerful visual editor akin to tools like Canva or Microsoft's Movie Maker. With a scene, you can design more complex visuals, allowing for greater creativity and flexibility in your digital signage content.

After you enter the Scenes section, you will see a Scenes Dashboard. From here you can:

1 Click on Create Scene to open the Scene editor and start creating a Scene.

Firstly, give your Scene a name1 and choose and Aspect ratio2 before entering the editing mode.

2 View existing scenes.

3 Use the search bar to look for scenes.

4 Change scene settings:

1 Click on the Scene's name to Rename it and then click Save.

2 Scene's aspect ratio. You can change it in the editor.

3 Click on Edit to open Scene editor to make changes to the chosen scene.

4 Click on Publish to select one or more screens where the content will be displayed and also change publishing time, if required. Click Publish again to save progress.

5 Click Delete to remove a scene and click Delete again to confirm.
