How
does FocusTrack describe focuses?
It’s up to you. If you want to use conventional
‘grid style’ focus descriptions - "6L@+6"
- you can do that. If you want to use a written
description - “on Fantine, down centre” -
you can do that. If you want to insert a set drawing
and click on it to show where the light is pointing,
you can do that using FocusTrack’s QuickFocus function.
For the greatest precision, you can add a digital
photograph for each focus of each light. FocusTrack
can help with taking these photographs, generating
lists of each focus that you need to photograph them
importing the pictures in the right place.
If you’re running FocusTrack on a Macintosh
computer, it can automate this task - turning each
light on in each focus in turn without you having to
press a single key on the console!
