How to Use the Prep Step Before Firing Your Automated Show

After you create a show in IGNITE Show Designer and import it into the IGNITE app, it’s a good idea to use the Prep Show screen to make sure all modules and igniters are connected and ready before starting your show.

Step 1: Open the IGNITE App and tap Shows.

Step 2: Select your show.

Find the show you want to prep and tap Prep Show.

Step 3: Review cue continuity.

Tap on Check Igniters in the bottom right corner of the screen. Cues with continuity will show up in green if they’ve been scripted into the show, or in yellow if they have continuity but weren't scripted. Cues that have been scripted but aren’t showing continuity will appear in red, and cues without continuity that haven’t been scripted will show in grey.

Warning:

If you’re using app version 6.24+ on Android or 14.37+ on iOS, you’ll need to perform continuity checks manually. For more details, please check out How to Check Continuity.

If you have multiple modules in your show, you can select them on the right side of the screen to check connected igniters for continuity for each one.

Step 4: Exit Prep Show.

Once you’ve confirmed that your modules and igniters are connected properly, you can tap the arrow in the top left corner of the screen to go back to the Shows screen.

You’re all set to fire your show! For more details on how to do that, check out How to Shoot an Automated Show.
