## Show Organization

A Show File is a timeline composed of [tracks](https://help.depence.com/depence-show-and-animation/depence-show-sequencer/depence-track-types) that can be organized in a tree structure by using Folders, while all child objects will inherit their parent's Lock, Mute & Solo properties.

## **Show Playback**

Once you click on "Play", the Sequencer will playback all Scenes according to their position on the timeline. The **first click** on Stop will "Pause" the Show without Releasing the currently active Scenes. A **second click** on Stop will release the Show.
