Why is My Show Length Different in the IGNITE App Than in Show Designer?

If you build a show in IGNITE Show Designer on your computer, then open the same show in the IGNITE App on your phone, the total show length shown in the app may be slightly longer than what you see in Show Designer. This is expected and does not change anything about how your show fires.

Your cues are identical in both places. The number of cues, their order, and the time each one fires are exactly the same in the IGNITE App and in Show Designer. The only thing that differs is the total duration displayed at the top of the show.

Here is why: when the IGNITE App downloads a show, it always pulls down an audio track for the show, even if you did not add any music. That silent placeholder track is what the app uses to render the playback timeline. The track is sized to comfortably cover the show, so it can extend a bit past your final cue. That extra bit at the end is what you are seeing as added length on the phone.

When you fire the show, it stops on your final cue exactly as designed in Show Designer.
