Creating a Show

To manage your shows, you first need to create one folder per show in the flixProjects folder, then set a show template for each of your shows.

Creating a Show Folder

To create a new show folder, do the following:

1.

Navigate to FLIX_ROOT/flixProjects.

2.

Create a new folder and rename it with the name of your show.

Note:  The folder name is case-sensitive and must match the name of the show for which your Flix license is valid.

3.

Make sure the show folder has full read, write, and execute permissions for every Flix user.

4.

Launch Flix and check that the show appears in the Flix Project Browser.

Setting a Show Template

After you've created the show folder you need to set the right show template to have the correct aspect ratio for your panels. Flix provides templates for the following aspect ratios: 1.77, 1.85, 2.35, and 2.39.
To set the show template, do the following:

1.

Navigate to FLIX_ROOT/flixProjects/flix/builds/flix_web.release/templates/showSettings.

The four show templates are stored in separate .zip files.

2.

Select one of the show template .zip files and copy it to another location.

3.

Extract the show template .zip file.

The .zip file contains a folder named SHOW_[Aspect Ratio].

4.

Copy this SHOW_[Aspect Ratio] folder to the show folder you've created, see the Creating a Show Folder section.

The show template is now set for your new show.

5.

Drag the home folder from the SHOW_[Aspect Ratio] folder to the parent folder. Your show folder now have a single folder called home, which itself contains a flix folder.
