Show templates
New from Template opens a new show that is already set up: sources, scenes, titles, screens and presets in place, ready to swap for your own cameras and slides. The Stage templates also build a lit 3D stage set.
Open a template
- Choose File > New from Template… (it sits under New Show). It is also in the Show menu of the Studio toolbar.
- If the open show has unsaved changes, Studio asks to save them first, as New Show does.
- Pick a template in the gallery and choose Create, or double-click it. The arrow keys move between templates,
Return(Windows:Enter) creates,Escapecancels.
The template's setup is one undo step: Undo leaves the new show empty, it does not bring back the show you had open. Each template has its own look: generated backdrops and wall content in the template's colours, gradient cards that stand in for your cameras and slides, and titles tinted to match. Every template but Multi Screen Projection Mapping has an Opening scene with an opener title and a Closing scene with a credits roll. The template's main scene is on Program when the show opens. Replace the stand-ins with your own inputs. Any outputs it adds are left off, so nothing leaves the computer until you turn one on.
A template is built only from what your plan includes. If your plan does not include generators, each generated backdrop becomes a plain colour card instead. If your plan does not include any other part, the whole template is refused, the plan notice says why, and the show you had open stays as it was.

Stage
Each Stage template sets up an Advanced show and adds a 3D stage set in Stage (Beta): the set model (saved in the show's Assets), its screens mapped to the show's pictures and tagged as LED or projection, lights, a look, a projector for each projected screen and a camera. Conference Stage and TV Studio start from the Conference: IMAG, LED Wall, Confidence show. Concert and Worship Stage has its own concert show: a 3840 x 1536 LED wall and IMAG, with the presets Walk-in, Opening, Show, Lead and Closing. The lights (washes, beams, floor beams, uplights and a cyclorama) take the template's colours, with tinted haze, densest on the concert set.
| Template | What it sets up |
|---|---|
| Conference Stage | A stage with an LED wall, two IMAG screens and truss lights |
| Concert and Worship Stage | A big LED wall, projected side screens, coloured beams and haze |
| TV Studio | A news desk, a video wall, a lit cyclorama and soft key light |
| Festival Main Stage | A huge night stage: real moving lights, lasers, flames, an LED fan and haze |
Festival Main Stage hangs real fixtures from the online fixture library on trusses, with lasers and flame units (both in Beta), and adds a timeline for its light show with an empty song slot, Your track: drop your own track there. Its fixtures and objects download from the online libraries as the template opens.
The Stage templates need Studio 3D stage in your plan, see Plans and limits.
Demo Shows
Under the templates the gallery lists Demo Shows: finished shows from cliqer.io that the plan you are on includes. Choose one and it downloads, then opens.
External Control
New show from template in the Show group of External Control opens a template by name.
Windows and macOS
Both apps have the same gallery, groups, templates and words, and each gallery card is drawn in its template's own look. On macOS the gallery is a sheet on the Studio window; on Windows it is its own window.
