Write Vūdl for a deck, stack or cell

Script a deck's playback or shape a stack and its individual cells in Vūdl Live Studio.

Why use it

Use it to make timed changes repeatable across a song or a complete look.

Do this

  1. 01Choose Open Vūdl Live Studio in the app title bar. Use Studio's document selector to open the deck script, an existing stack script, or Create stack for a numbered stack.
  2. 02Edit the deck document when you want it to launch stacks or clips on a timeline. Choose Deck playback On beside the deck picker to start it, or Off to stop it. The control shows which deck is running while you browse other decks.
  3. 03Edit a stack document when you want to shape the look triggered by that stack. Apply your changes, then trigger the stack from the deck or Stage to use its script.
  4. 04For one grid position, choose Cell Block in Studio, then pick a layer and stack. Studio opens or inserts that cell's block in the current document. The block belongs to that position rather than a clip, so its badge can appear on an empty cell.
  5. 05Choose Apply to save your script. Vūdl badges on the deck show where stack scripts and cell blocks are written; Studio's live status shows which document is performing.
