Introduction to QLab 2
Welcome to QLab! QLab makes it simple to create rich multimedia designs for live performances and installations. QLab's event-driven media sequences are perfect for sound design, video projection design, or anything where you need to trigger media playback in a precise and flexible manner. Uses include: theatrical performances, dance performances, church productions, advertising displays, museum installations, and more.
This documentation will give you a detailed introduction to the QLab application. We encourage you to contribute additional tutorials, hints and tips, and any other supplemental information you feel is useful to the QLab Wiki, located at http://figure53.com/wiki/.
QLab 2 requires Mac OS 10.5.2 or later and QuickTime 7.3 or later.
The video features require a graphics card that supports Quartz Extreme and Core Image.
QLab 2 may be safely installed on a machine running QLab version 1.x; the two programs will not interfere with each other.
QLab 2 will not read QLab 1.x workspace files. QLab 2 workspace files now use the file extension ".cues".
QLab 2 is designed to offer advanced functionality far beyond what is possible with QLab 1. QLab 2 therefore requires more powerful hardware than QLab 1. Machines which are adequate for QLab 1 may not be adequate for QLab 2. Please always test your equipment to determine its capacity.
