One feature I would like to have is the ability to have multiple layers of event markers.  That way you could have one set of evenly spaced event lines for arch leaps or mega tree spins and then other event lines for the rest of the display.  The key to it is being able to turn off the different layers as you need to.  Another thought would be that each layers event markers would be a different color so that if you displayed all layers you could tell what went where.

Sound like tracks in S2.  Kinda...sorta.

I would love it if this could be somehow integrated into the "Groups" feature that was hinted at a few months back.  Wouldn't it be nice if ALL the cool sequencing tools were available in one program?

1) Multiple sets of event timings.
2) Virtual Controllers (a.k.a.: Groups and/or Tracks)
3) Zoom the visualizer window while drawing lights.

Oops.  Hijacking with #3.  Sorry. Wink

Good ideas.  Layers, grouping, color coding, it would help a newbie, that's for sure.  Once I split my first cell, thanks for that advice by the way, it was gadzook's what have I done to the other channels.  I freaked out for a minute and I was past the point of "undo-ing" the split cells.
 
Tks!

Just wait until you start making the decision to paste using the existing timings, or to paste using the copied timings.  You'll be thankful that Aurora's "undo" command refers to intervals as well as effects while you get the hang of the paste options.

I've faced that decision and with a lot of uncertainty made a selection.  Confused I haven't figured out the differences, but that'll come.
 
And yes the "undo" command is my favorite function.
