Video, about 30 seconds, phone shape, no sound. The steps below say the same.
On a phone, ShowMaker is for watching and checking. Making a show, writing an episode, approving a step and changing clips need a bigger screen: on a phone, those buttons are switched off and say Needs a bigger screen. Everything you start on a computer keeps running while you are away, and the phone shows how it is going.
- Step 1: Open ShowMaker in your phone's browser and sign in as usual.
- Step 2: The menu is behind the button at the top right. Press it, then Library (or Shows). The menu has the same places as on a computer: Shows, Brands, Library, Help and Account. An admin also sees Admin.
- Step 3: Press an episode to open it.
- Step 4: A finished episode opens on its cut, ready to play. Under it are Download, the links to where it is posted (Live on YouTube, and so on) and the subtitle file (.srt).
- Step 5: What made this episode lists the plan, the cast and places, and every clip, each with its state, like the Pipeline on a computer. The cut takes you back.
- Step 6: While an episode is being made, a line under its header follows the run, so you can look again later.
Tips
- Anything you start on a computer keeps running while you are away. Open the episode on your phone later to see how far it got.
- A button that says Needs a bigger screen is not broken: that step needs the bigger screen.
About the recording: the recording browser cannot play the exported video, so the player is dark in the video. On your phone it plays.
