luckydave — projection designer, QLab support ace, and our local video guru — talks us through his optimization process for video playback. In this post I will discuss video design workflows and the strategies I’ve found that work well with QLab (and most other show control software). I’ll start with two very important axioms: There [...]
As noted here previously, Jason Knox is creating a series of video tutorials for QLab 2. The first four are now up! I think you’ll agree: he’s doing some amazing work on these.
More news! Delivered in Coding Horror Style! Sound designer and composer Jason Knox is working on a series of video tutorials for QLab 2. (See our artist’s rendition below, simulating what experts believe to be a true-to-life simulation of a Jason Knox in his natural tutorial habitat.) Each tutorial video will have a corresponding example [...]
Have you used QLab? Add yourself to the list! We’re building a running list of places, people, and shows that have used QLab. Check it out here: QLab Wiki: QLab in Action
I’ve updated many of the documentation pages to get them in line with the current state of the program. As development continues, these pages will of course become stale again, but for now they have been yanked back to the realm of the relevant. I’ve also dropped one or two seeds of information into the [...]

The next release of QLab will include this documentation from the Help menu. To build these docs I’ve set up a handy makefile and a couple of shell scripts, so I only have to maintain [...]
Hacking on the code, while the most fun, is not always the most urgent priority. In the last few weeks I’ve hardly even touched XCode at all. But now the diversion is nearly complete. Aside from the web site, both the QLab Tracker and the QLab Wiki are now up and running. You can use [...]
