TheWide (Alpha-stage)

Stage Director is a previsualization app that lets you complete the staging of plays, operas, musicals and dance shows before rehearsal begins.

■ Stage & Mise-en-scene

· 60+ 3D props: structures, furniture, instruments, sound gear, backdrops, effects and decor

· Opera staples (throne, banquet table, fireplace, grandfather clock) plus walls and columns in European or modern styles, with window options

· Rotate and resize props, and stack them with layers (a chair on a platform)

· Upload a photo to use as the stage backdrop

■ Actor Blocking

· Move an actor and start / arrival markers appear automatically on the timeline

· Drag the markers to fine-tune the real performance timing

· Each actor has an independent track, so edits never interfere

· Organize cast members with seven rainbow-colored groups

■ Lighting Design

· Place spot, moving, wash and back lights

· Store brightness, color, pan and position per point so lights change and travel over time

· Reflected live in both the 2D and 3D stage

■ Timeline Editing

· Video-editor style layer timeline

· Trim entrance and exit ranges, record movement keyframes

· Upload background music and the total duration is set to the track length

· Preview built-in sound effects (thunder, waves, birds, bells and more) and place them at any moment

■ Script & Scene Management

· Save and switch between scenes by act/scene or page

· Import a script and it splits into blocks by blank lines with estimated timings

· Lines appear beside the 2D editor and below the 3D preview

■ Sharing & Collaboration

· Export as PNG images or 2D and 3D videos

· Co-edit in real time over the same Wi-Fi using an invite code

· 20 levels of undo
